The lake is at 100% capacity!
Bank anglers were nailing rainbows at the dam and "Beach", but boaters trolled lures, Rapalas and similar.
In addition to the DFW planting soon , Collins Lake Resort will add another ton of fish on a weekly basis.
Please read for how to fish and where to fish Collins Lake!
Collins Lake is a 1,000 acre reservoir just a 30 minutes out
of Marysville known for late winter and early spring trout action.
With panfishing, black bass
and some good fishing on big
catfish, but according ot our fishing report, the best trout fishing of the
year in February and March and good bass
action shortly after.
So, timing the lakes in
the spring and as warming water changes the behavior is the key to foothill area fisheries.
The winter offers lots of 12 to 15-inch trout all winter next to the dam
until temperatures come up through 60
degrees in March. But this year it could
be earlier because of the dry weather dropped the lake 20 feet or so.
The early season has great
topline trout trolling with a 1/4-ounce gold Kastmaster, but go with a No.3 to No.4 long
Rebel or Rapala if the water is over 60
degrees.
Not set up for trolling? A float tube, canoe or rowboat
it‘s possible to do well simply wind
drifting a lightly weighted red or size
12 Black Wooly worm. From the bank, try to cast lures for trout in the current where the creek enters the lake
under the bridge on the road to Oregon
House.See our fishing map for reference.
Use a small spinner
here or off the point just east of the
bridge and you might pick up some nice
crappie too. The cove on the West side suits bass pluggers a little later in the year.
Blind casting lures for trout can be
done off the points near the boat
ramp.
Banks for the bass
Collins Lake for
smallmouth bass in February is awesome
and live minnows work best. But Little Rainbow Trout streamers off points near the bridge just as good as bait.
Try the long cover inside point just
below the bridge on the marina side of
the lake and the rocky coves opposite
the marina. Optionally try ultralight
and small purple and motor oil Bobby
Garland Jigs fished on the drop near
rocky cover most days.
If the water’s still cold you may need to go deep with structure
spoons for smallmouth. lf the water’s not right
for smallmouth, we go deep for largemouth with bigger lures in east side coves.
Plastic worms here as there’s much cover
in the submerged trees and willows to
snag expensive crankbaits.
Collins Lake Catfish
Most catfish hit after
dark in the east corner of the dam or in
the submerged treetops along the east
bank. After storms the action shifts to the
tributary mouths on the north end of the lake. While you can expect channel cats in the 10
to 15 pound range to six pound average,
a 20-pound fish isn’t a surprise and all sorts
of pound bullheads snatch worms, liver and minnow baits.
You do need at least thirty pound test if you fish near the trees!
Collins Lake Panfish
Panfish seem to be
everywhere on the lake. Beginners catch
bluegill near the boat ramp on flyrods
with flies. Experts fish small minnows off
inlets and in treetops or, on breezy days, fish
jigs under bobbers. Live crickets seem to take the biggest bluegills; use small bobbers
for Crappie and don't be surprised at a
bass or so. Favorite spot is hidden in the treetops across the lake from the marina.
