Tactics/Bait:

Thomas Buoyants and Mice Tails were the hot rigs of the week. Tasmanian Devils or Needlefish continue to hook up quality fish for the folks out there trolling. You cant go wrong with inflated Nightcrawlers. The top Powerbait color was yellow. In the creek, Salmon Eggs were the hot ticket. The top shore locations on the lake were the South Shore and Inlet. Other locations to try: North Shore, Inlet and Hangman's Tree.

Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive:

Sierra Slammers, Tasmanian Devil, Green or brown Marvel Fly Lures, Trout Teasers, Panther Martin, NeedleFish, Rooster Tails, and Bite-on Fury Shad on Powerbait.

I was suggest using some type of added attractant. Pro-Cure, Bait-On, Lip Ripperz and Berkley all make excellent attractants, which are sold at the general store.

Here is a list of recommended flies:

Dry Flies: Adams, Female Adams, Cutter's Caddis, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators, Black/Red Ants, Sierra Bright Dot, Royal Coachman and Hoppers.
