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. Not many bank anglers around this morning but I did see one gentleman doing well under the TomSawyerBridge this morning. Night crawlers, pink power worms and green power bait are the hot baits, with wooly boogers and Kastmasters good right after the plant.

Trolling-----Nothing has changed, methods, depths and baits remain unchanged. Trollers are still flat lining, using 3 to 4 colors of lead core or drift fishing the River starting at Mouth and going up as far as Indian Rock. Some small Kokanee are still showing up in the River arm. 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.
