Rod and Gun Report on Fair to Poor Ocean Fishing
Last week ocean fishing near Port San Luis and Avila Bay yielded mixed results with wind and seas limiting salmon catches. The largest local salmon this year weighed 12 pounds by Ivan Rowley of Pismo Beach. Catand trout fishing at Margarita Lake and Cachuma Lake was largely unproductive amid recent floods and debris. The last trout plant at Cachuma occurred March 4-5, stocking four thousand catchables, while Santa Barbara County streams plan further plantings as roads reopen.
