Catfish: Very Good.  The big cats are up in shallow water and feeding heavily.  The water temperature is getting warmer each day which has encouraged the cats to move shallow.  Try using frozen shad or a ball of crawlers to target these fish.  Catfish are drawn to bait by scent so it is a good idea to add additional scent to your bait.  Kokanee: Good.  The kokanee bite continues to get better each week.  The weather is gradually getting warmer, which usually makes the fishing really good.  The main lake has been holding schools of kokanee.  Rose Island, the dam and the spillway have all been producing limits.  There are also fish being caught near the 49-bridge and Coyote Creek.  Most of the fish are starting to look rather healthy measuring from 10-13".  They have been biting an assortment of lures including Uncle Larry's Spinners, Glitter Bug's Micro Hoochies and Simon Wobblers.  As far as color selection goes, pink, orange and watermelon are all good choices. Bass: Fair.  The water is still dropping quite a bit each week.  The bite has slowed down and the majority of fish are heading back into deeper water.  The spawn is complete and the fish are in a post-spawn stage.  They will be feeding heavily in the morning and evenings and will be hanging in the deep water midday.  Try using reaction type baits to catch the fish that are eager to feed.  Then as the sun comes up switch to slower moving baits fished sub-surface.  The fish are feeding on blue gill, shad, crawdads, and baby bass.  Soft plastics and hard baits in these colors would all be good choices.  In stained water try using brighter colors or baits that have more flash.  Chartreuse and orange crankbaits and spinnerbaits will work well and a dye pen will enhance your soft plastics.
