Over the last week the fishing at the lake continued to yield some nice fish. The increase temperatures haven't slowed it down but I'm getting reports the fish have started moving into deeper water. The Round Up at the Lake spring derby has ended and I'll be getting the results out next week.

Tactics/Bait: Thomas Buoyants, Kastmasters, Power Worms and Mice Tails were the hot tickets this week. Tasmanian Devils or Rapalas hooked up quality fish for the folks out there trolling. You cant go wrong with inflated Nightcrawlers. The top Powerbait colors were Sherbet and Yellow. Try Gulp Chunky Cheese or Salmon Peach Powerbait. In the creek, salmon eggs worked well. The top shore location was the Inlet. Other locations to try: South Shore, 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.
Streamers: Wooly Bugger (black, brown, olive, or green), Mutuka (black, brown, olive, or green), Hornberg, and Muddler Minnows.
Wet Flies(Nymphs): Prince Nymph, Flashback Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear, Zebra Midge (red and black), Copper John (red and copper) and San Juan Worm (brown or red).
