Fishing & Hunting
Hunting
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
For additional information on hunting in the Lake Almanor contact the California Department of Fish and Game.
Fishing In Lake Almanor And Surrounding Areas
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.
Our Story:
In 1980, concerned fishermen, business people and the Chester/Lake Almanor Chamber of Commerce formed the Almanor Fishing Association. The main purpose of the Association is the enhancement and preservation of a high quality fishing resource in Lake Almanor. In addition, assuring its continual availability to everyone wishing to enjoy the sport of fishing.
In 1985 AFA established the Fish Rearing Cage Program. Over the past 30+ years the cage program has become the premier Fish Rearing program in the entire state with up to 50,000 Rainbow Trout raised and released into Almanor each year.
AFA has more than 200 members, made up of business’s, fishermen and community members. Membership dues and our Annual Family Barbecue are our only major fundraising events. We provide periodic press releases to our members and our Annual Newsletter is distributed to members and local businesses.
Lake Almanor is a world class fishery hidden in the beauty of Plumas County. For the past 36 years AFA has played a key role in promoting and maintaining this spectacular fishery. If you would like to assist us in our efforts, please join AFA, participate in our Annual Picnic or make a donation. The continued success of our fishery depends on all of us.
