PICKS OF THE WEEK

1. The striped bass action has been excellent in the Colorado River, especially in Lake Mead where there is a topwater bite early in the morning in Vegas and Government washes and up into Echo Bay -- heck, over much of the lake. Most of the fish are smaller, just in the 2-8 range, but they're whacking most small, shad-like topwater lures with abandon. For an update on the bite, call Lake Plaza at 702-564-3058.

2. Bridgeport Reservoir continues to have an excellent trout bite. The best action is in the channels between the weed beds in where Robinson and Buckeye creeks empty into the lake. Fly-fishing streamers in these channels has been bet for trout to 6-0, with a lot of 2-8 class rainbows. Some big Sacramenot perch are also showing in this bite. Ken's Sporting Goods in Bridgeport is info central, call them at 760-932-7707 or on-line at www.kenssport.com.

3. Hesperia Lake remains perhaps the best pick for Southern California catfish anglers. The fish have all concentrated in the deep water off the island, limiting the number of fishing spots available for good action, but if you can get one of the coveted pieces of ground, the bite is wide open for easy limits with a chance at the cat over 20 pounds. Bonus plant this week for the holiday weekend. Check with Ed Rister for an update at 800-521-6332 or 760-244-5951.

FRESHWATER HOT SPOTS

TROUT: The deep-water trout bites are good at Diamond Valley, Piru, Pyramid, Cachuma, and Casitas, mostly for trollers but also for anglers drifting baits in deep water. The bait action is also decent at the higher elevation waters -- Green Valley, Cuyamaca, Big Bear, and Jenks. In the Eastern Sierra, Bridgeport Reservoir and the East Walker River are still the top picks, but the Virginia Lakes, Grant Lake, Twin Lakes (Mammoth), Crowley, and the whole Bishop Creek drainage are all good bets, too. Bridgeport and Crowley are top bets for fly anglers throwing perch minnow imitations and damsel patters. In the Western Sierra, Isabella remains good, and Kern River flows are down and the bite is good in both the upper and lower river.

LARGEMOUTH BASS: Bass action is fair to good all across Southern California with decent surface action early and late in the day at most places, and some big fish continue to pop. Bass are in deeper water during the bulk of the day with the best action in 20 to 40 feet of water on plastics, live baits, and jigs. Top picks are Casitas, Diamond Valley, Perris, San Vicente, El Capitan, Lower Otay, and -- if you can get a permit -- Barrett. Other decent bets include Piru, Pyramid, Silverwood, Castaic, Cachuma, Lopez, Santa Margarita, Nacimiento, San Antonio, and Isabella. The lower Kern River is also turning on for smallmouth.

STRIPED BASS: For Southern California waters, Pyramid, Skinner, Silverwood and Castaic have a consistently good bites on smaller fish, mostly on cut baits, but some on topwater early and late in the day. The striped bass bite is good in the California Aqueduct near Taft with a lot of fish over the 18-inch minimum size showing on blood or lug worms. On the Colorado River, Lake Mead has an excellent morning surface bite as fish bust shad on the surface in Vegas Wash, and Willow Beach continues to produce a few fish over 20-0 each week. Mohave and Havasu are both good on small fish to 4-0. Also fair action in the lower river at the Palo Verde Diversion Dam. PANFISH: Good bluegill and/or redear action at a lot of urban lakes and local water reservoirs right now, many with little or no fishing pressure. Good bets include San Vicente, Hodges, Lower Otay, Diamond Valley, Perris, Piru, Pyramid, Lopez, and Santa Margarita, but most waters have decent panfish bites now, even if the fish are on the smaller size. There is still a good Sacramento perch bite on Lake Crowley and Bridgeport Reservoir in the Sierra. The only real crappie bite of note is the bite on Henshaw with fish to 2-0, but Nacimiento and Lopez are both still producing a few fish. Cuyamaca, as always, also has a good bite on rat crappie.

CATFISH: On the Colorado River, the flathead bite is good in the lower river with a number of flatheads over 20-0 reported the past week, mostly on live bluegill, goldfish or tilapia. Best bet closer to SoCal would be Hesperia Lake on planted fish including big fish over 10-0, and a few fish over 20-0 were caught this past week. Anaheim Lake has been good with fish to 8-0 and better each week. Corona Lake and Irvine Lake are also good, especially at night. Diamond Valley, Perris, Silverwood, Pyramid, Piru, all of the San Diego area lakes, and all of the San Bernardino County Park Lakes also have fair to good catfish bites.

SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAIN WATERS

SILVERWOOD: Pretty good mixed bag action. The bass, catfish and striper bites are good and the bluegill, crappie and trout bites are fair.

Trollers are working leadcore line with three colors with Needlefish-type lures, Thomas Buyoants or Rapalas.
