Great fishing abounds in the Lake Almanor Basin whether you are a lake or stream fisherman. There are many guide services available that will help show you how to hook 'em and cook 'em! Fishing boat rentals are also available at many of the Lake Almanor marinas for hourly, half and full day fishing excursions.

There are some trophy size fish being taken from local lakes including the world renown Eagle Lake which sports it's own unique species of trout, aptly named "Eagle Lake Trout".

Remember that the DFG requires you to display in full view a valid fishing license at all times when fishing. Be sure to pick one up when you stop for your fishing gear or bait.

Hunting is a popular activity in the Lake Almanor Area. Archery and rifle seasons are available for mule deer. Excellent geese and duck hunting occurs in season along the shallows and meadows of the north shore of Lake Almanor
