Nice 👍🏼 last time I fished there the water was low and you can walk around the island. Hooked both smallies and rainbows from the shore also on ultralight tackle
Smallmouth have been a staple in Lake Almanor for several decades. Almanor often partially freezes like Stampede and the smallies do well at higher elevations as well as low. The population in Almanor is robust, and the fish there often grow to trophy size. The shield lakes in Canada are also known as a trophy Smallmouth fishery, and we all know how cold it gets up there.
