    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    Lake Almanor is a 28,000-acre reservoir in Plumas County, Northern California, nestled in the Sierra Nevada at 4,500 feet elevation near Chester and Mount Lassen. It is one of California's premier trout fishing lakes, known for excellent rainbow and brown trout trolling alongside largemouth bass, in a spectacular mountain setting with views of Mount Lassen. Spot Features: Lake Almanor is a 28,000-acre reservoir on the North Fork of the Feather River in Plumas County, California, one of the largest mountain lakes in the state. Rainbow and brown trout are targeted by trolling Rapalas and spoons at varying depths, largemouth bass in the vegetated shallows with soft plastics. Multiple boat ramps and marinas provide excellent access around the lake perimeter. Seasonality: Rainbow trout and brown trout are the primary year-round sport fish at Lake Almanor, with peak trolling success in spring and fall when fish are in shallower water. Largemouth bass are most active in spring during spawning and in fall. The high-elevation (4,500 feet) Sierra Nevada lake supports fishing from spring through fall, with the lake typically open year-round.
