The trout bite at the lake has been fairly tough. The fish are at many different depths and scattered about, making them difficult to target. In the next couple months they will definitely be favoring the cooler water near river channel in the main lake. Trolling anglers try fishing various depths from 10-60'. Excel, Needlefish, and Speedy Shiner spoons are all good choices for trolling. The brown trout will often hang around schools of small kokanee. Kokanee: Fair. The fish are starting to school up making them easier to find and catch. We have had reports of multiple limits being caught. Some of the kokanee seem to be a decent size for this time of the year, and they have months left to grow. Pink is always a great color for dodgers and baits, with orange and green producing fish as well. It is a good idea to troll various sizes, colors, baits and blade combinations. The fish will favor certain rigs, and it can be a process of elimination to find what appeals to them throughout the day. Be sure to tip your baits with dyed and scented corn or Gulp Maggots. Bass: Good. The lake level continues to drop quite a bit each day. The fish are still biting, and can be caught at many different depths. Try fishing shallow in the mornings and evenings and moving out into deeper water throughout the day. A variety of soft plastics are working well such as Senkos, Brush Hogs, and lizards. Try fishing them on a Carolina Rig in deeper water. There has also been a pretty decent reaction bite. The fish are active and willing to chase crank baits and jerk baits.
