Fishing near Lassen over Thanksgiving

[mhw]

Hey Gents and Ladies,

Got the fam a rental for the holiday up Lassen way. Might have some time to sneak away and look at some water. What's fishable/worth fishing nearby that time of year? When does the snow usually close HW89? Thought about Manzanita as I have a portabote with hard sides. Also, is Hat Creek open to fishing in the offseason if you are strictly C/R? I've seen conflicting information.

Hat Creek closes on Nov 15. Manzanita will be open but it will be getting late in the year. Never know with the snow, but oftentimes the road to Manzanita will be open while 89 is shut down over the peak.

The Pit, Upper Sac, Trinity, and Lower Sac will be open. Nov. 15 shuts down pretty much all other moving waters. Baum Lake would be a good option. Planted, but fishes like a spring creek. No motors on Baum or Manzanita.

No motors on Baum or Manzanita.

Mummmmmm............ unless something has changed very recently, electric motors are still allowed on Baum Lake.

Sorry, I have gas and think on those terms.

PGE has closed the gate to Baum Lake, Cassel Campground, North Shore Campground and Dusty Camp on Britton. The access at the McArthur Fairgrounds to the Rat Farm and the Canal has been locked also. Cal Trout access is open, but no launching boats on trailers. The proposal for 2021 will have Lower Hat Creek open year around, Fall River Valley also , both with some restrictions. Pit River to be open year around if the new regs goes into effect also.

No harm, no foul dude02.

But, as cdccopp reported............most everything is locked up around there.......so it all may be a moot point if everything remains locked up beyond Thanksgiving.

Very nasty times we're in right now....................
