I reached out and shook Olin’s hand, and quipped, “I’m honored to meet the lake brown trout record holder.”Īnyway, we didn’t get any bites from rainbows, browns or other fish, and decided to leave. “Hey Dan,” Kellogg said to me, “this is Olin, the guy who caught that brown I was telling you about.” “No, there’s fish surfacing off shore, but they’re not biting our offerings,” said Kellogg.

Sugar Pine is one of the favorite lakes for Cal Kellogg, Fish Sniffer Editor, to fish, but he’s never caught a brown, though he’s landed lots of rainbows and some bass. The CDFW last stocked the reservoir with catchable browns in the 1990s. While the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) plants rainbow trout in the lake in the spring and fall, browns are exceeding rare in the catches at Sugar Pine reservoir. Sugar Pine Reservoir, a beautiful mid-elevation American River watershed lake located north of Foresthill, is most renowned for its rainbow trout fishing, but it also offers sleeper fishing for smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass, channel catfish and sunfish.
