Trout: Slow. The trout bite has been getting a little tougher each week.  The lake level is dropping and the water temperature is warming.  This will push the trout from the shallows back out to deeper/cooler water.  Try to find areas with clearer water that are protected from the wind and have deep water access.  Also, if you are fishing an area with slightly stained to murky water, try using bright colored baits and lures.  Bank anglers have been catching very few fish.  Glory Hole Point and near the 49-bridge are good areas to try because the main river channel and cooler water is close. Kokanee: Slow.  The fish generally start biting again in the spring mid-April into May, but we've had reports of a few being caught.  We expect the bite to come on any day now. Try trolling a pink hoochie, spinner, or bug behind a teardrop dodger while trout fishing and you might pick up a few kokanee.  Also, nightcrawler and garlic nightcrawler scent works best at the first part of the season.

 

Bass:  Good.  The bass are moving into shallow water and staging for the spawn.  To catch shallow fish try using small bright colored crank baits or spinner baits.  To target deeper/staging fish that are staging on offshore structure, try using a drop-shot rig with a 4-6" straight tail worm.   Another deep water fish catcher is a football head jig.  Try fishing ½ - ¾ ounce jigs in crawdad colors.  Brown/purple, green pumpkin/purple, and green pumpkin are all good color choices.
