I enjoy fishing Lake Almanor and reading the fish reports in W.O.N. Usually the articles say where they are catching fish. Example: the A-frame, El Dorado Inn, rec 1, rec 2, the springs. None of the maps I have of the lake show where these spots are. Do you know of a map that I can buy that will show where these spots are located on the lake? I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I’m not sure of a specific map, but the Lake Almanor Fishing Association can hook you up with all that info.

JD – i am a fly fishing guy and live near the delta (brentwood), where is the best bite right now? Franks, stockton, Disco bay, Big break?
All of the above at the moment!
You should be able to buy a map at any fishing store in Chester, which is at Lake Almanor. The Sports Nut or the Ayoobes hardware store are your best bet. Fishing the Rec 1 and 2 areas are great. Been fishing there for 30+ years. You can catch record Browns and 2-4lb salmon and some very large rainbows. Going out of Rec 1 head toward Hamilton branch (East) and there will be two Points. the A frame is a green roof A Frame house but has been hidden by the trees now. You will be best suited trolling in 20 – 40' along the shore east from Rec 1 and turn around by hte second point. Down riggers or 6-7 colors with a firetiger speedy shinner. Your fish finder will tell you where to go. the fish are stacked up. I went in early Oct and limited out iwth 3-4lb bows and a few 2lb salmon. Hooked into a brown i couldnt get into the boat. Fly fishing the bait boils worked well for bows as well.
