http://norcal.fishreports.comWater is stained in most of the lake. There are mud lines forming near the shore throughout the day, especially on windy days. The average water temperature is 76-82 degrees.
Tuttletown launch is closed. Glory Hole Point boat launch is the road leading off the end of the point. It is a dirt launch without courtesy docks and 4wd is recommended.
Trout: Slow. It is hard to establish a report with such few anglers on the lake. Late summer/early fall in years past has been a good time to troll deep water and catch some hefty trout. Trolling anglers it is time to start trolling shad patterned plugs or rolling shad. The trout feed on the shad that are schooling in the main lake. Rattle Traps, Speed Traps and Shad Raps work well when targeting large rainbows and browns. Kokanee: Almost Done. The season is winding down and very few anglers a targeting the kokanee. The fish are heading upstream for their annual spawn and die. Some fish will migrate later than others. To target these fish try trolling in 70-90' of water.
Bass: Tough. The bass are in a late summer/early fall pattern and can be difficult to find. The shad are starting to school up in the deep water and the bass are hunting them in wolf packs. Trout anglers that are trolling over deep water with shad patterned spoons are catching chunky 2-pound spotted bass. It can be tricky to try and catch these roaming fish with a traditional chunk and wind method. Crank baits and jerk baits are both a good choice to use when targeting fish that are pulled of the bank. Catfish: Good. With the water being low there are areas of lake that can be accessed from the shore that have been underwater for years. The Angels Creek channel on the main lake is a short walk from Glory Hole Point. This is a good time of the year to fish for catfish. The lake is really nice in the evenings and through the night and this is when the big cats come to the shoreline and search for food. Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333
