Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is open, and there are no plans to close it. There will be some transition periods between launches where launching will be limited to one or two lanes.

Trout:  Fair.  Night fishing anglers have been doing well.  They are catching limits of fat healthy trout under a submersible light.   Try anchoring the boat in 25-50' of water, and dropping the light 15-25' feet down.  Be patient, it may take awhile for the light to attract plankton, baitfish, and trout.  To catch them, try using live minnows, mini jigs, Power Bait, and crawlers. Trolling anglers are starting to catch a few more on each outing. The trout feed on 2-4" shad.  Try using baits that match the size, profile and color of the baitfish.

Kokanee: Fair.  The fish are in the main lake and holding near the deepest parts of the lake. The main river channel from the dam to the 49-bridge will have schools of kokanee throughout.  Anglers have reported catching most of their fish in the early to mid-morning. Once you locate a school of fish it is a good idea to stay in the area to catch your limit.  The average size is a chunky 11-13" with a few fish measuring 14-16".  he bass are in a summer pattern where they will move shallow at night and in the morning for a short period of time to feed.  Then they will head back to cool water for the hot hours of the day.  There is a short window off opportunity to catch some topwater fish, and this style of fishing will produce some of the larger fish.  Once the sun comes up it is best to switch to slower moving sub-surface baits. Catfish: Good.  Most anglers that are targeting the cats are catching multiple fish on each outing.  Some big cats are showing up in shallow water.
