Big Rainbow Caught At Caples Lake
From Caples Lake Resort:
This 3-pound trophy rainbow trout was caught by Sacramento resident Don Lewis, trolling with a florescent white and red Needlefish in 22 feet of water in the middle of Caples Lake.
Don also hooked a “big” Mackinaw using a Kastmaster, but it was unfortunately lost getting it into the boat.
The lake level is only 4 feet down from 100 percent capacity, incredible news in this drought year. El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) increased the outflow on August 10 from 13 to 50 cfs which results in a decrease in lake level of 2 inches per day.
