DWP is dropping the lake fast still. Expect this to continue for the immediate future.  

Still seeing good concentrations of fish in Layton and alone green banks. A lot of these fish have moved closer to the East side near Big Weed. Lots of fish in less than 10ft of water. If you're not marking fish, don't worry because in the shallow water they're a little weary of boats overhead so they kick out of the way before the sonar can even ping them. Stop and fish anyway, it's worth it. Seeing some fish too in North Landing and along Six Bays, they're a little deeper, closer to 14-15ft.  It's been a late bite, so don't bother getting out at the crack of dawn. Things really start to get going around 11, and start to wind down around 3.

There are still plenty of fish back in Crooked for the days when the wind comes up. McGee looks like it's done for the season. Not seeing much near Sandy either this year or in the Hiltons. Been seeing some boats up in the Owens mouth, but haven't had the chance to check it out myself. 

I still have some openings for next week if anybody's interested in fishing the lake one last time before they pull the docks on the 31st.
