General Conditions
Striped bass fishing continues to provide the best action. Anglers also caught a few big catfish, some nice trout as well as some largemouth bass. As usual anglers at Los Vaqueros catch lots of BIG fish. We might not have the big numbers of fish but there is always a chance to catch something special.
The cool weather and wind has kept the water temperature between 60 and 61 degrees.

General Conditions
Striped bass fishing continues to provide the best action here at Los Vaqueros Reservoir. A few catfish, trout and largemouth bass also provided some action. Winds have limited anglers boating time on the reservoir this week.
The water temperature is now between 60 and 61 degrees and the water level remains at 50%.
One fishing pier is open and has been a good spot to catch stripers. We have one pier closed due to the low water. The shoreline is dry and in good condition for fishing.
General Conditions
Striped bass fishing continues to be your best bet.
The water temperature is now between 59 and 60 degrees depending on weather conditions and the water level is still at 50%.
Due to construction activity near the dam, the restriction area has been extended. Orange buoys now mark the closed area. There is still plenty of open water to fish.
Trout
Trout fishing is slow to fair. We see some trout every day but there is no one hot spot. Anglers take a few fish trolling as well as catching a few fish on bait. Nightcrawlers are the best trout bait this time of year. You can float them with a marshmallow, inflate them or fish them under a bobber.
Here are some photos of the 34lb striper caught by David Christeson at Los Vaqueros Reservoir last week. Thanks to Chris Senti for sending this in. Click on the images to see them in full size.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Los Vaqueros Reservoir. I think it’s about time for a return visit.
General Conditions
Fishing continued about the same as last week with striped bass continuing to be your best bet. A few big catfish, trout and largemouth bass also provided some action.
The water temperature is now 62.5 degrees and water level is at 50%.
Trout
Trout fishing is slow to fair. We see some trout every day but it takes work. There is no one hot spot. Anglers take a few fish trolling as well as a few fish on bait. Two anglers fishing at the tip of the south cove took 5 trout from 1.5lbs to 3.5lbs. They were using nightcrawlers. No trout plants are scheduled but we hope to plant some trout at the end of April.
