Overcast but pleasant temperatures throughout the weekend; look for the possibility of some rain by Wednesday.
Look for daytime temperatures in the mid 60's and 70's and 50's in the evening for the weekend and beyond. Lake level has come up a little and is now approximately 16 feet below spill. Water temperatures warmed a little, 50 degrees at 20 feet and 54 at surface. Water clarity is good to 15 feet with no debris.

Bank Fishing- The cove behind the Marina, Blue Herron Point, and the parking lot bank behind TomSawyerIsland, the Island itself and the Launch Ramp are the most popular spots again this week. Night crawlers, pink power worms and green power bait are the hot bait, with wooly boogers and Kastmasters good right after the plant.

Trolling-----Methods, depths and baits remain unchanged. Anglers are still flat lining, using 3 to 4 colors of lead core or drift fishing the River starting at Columbia Gulch and going up as far as Indian Rock. Good size Trout in the 3 to 6 lb range continue to turn up in limits. The cold water is keeping the fish within 20 feet of the surface, so no need to go deep. Small spoon or needlefish type lures in pink or florescent orange/red tipped with a night crawler, grub or power worm behind small flashers, dodgers or sidekicks in silver/green work well.

Recent success stories-----Lowell Kreisel from Lincoln got this beautiful Rainbow weighing in at 7.09 lbs using a Rapala at the outlet buoy line. Congratulations-well done!

California Department of Fish and Game has planted 3000 lbs of fish in addition Pardee Lake Inc has planted 28,000 lbs of trout with more plants scheduled for the near future.
