The Lake is full, full, full and continues to cascade over the spillway. Clearing skies, temperatures will hit the century mark Sunday and hover in the mid 80's low 90's next week. Current water temperatures are unchanged at the Marina and are 57 degrees at 20 feet and 64 at surface look for these temps stay fairly constant in the near future. Water clarity is good to 20 feet plus. Bank fishing hot spots are behind the EBAY boathouse Porcupine point and in the cove behind the Marina in front of the Maintenance building. The planters usually end up in the cove behind the Marina, Blue Herron Point, and the parking lot bank behind TomSawyerIsland, the Island itself and the Launch Ramp. Night crawlers, pink power worms and green power bait are the hot baits, with wooly boogers and Kastmasters good right after the plant. Silver/blue Kastmasters have been very hot lately.

Trolling for Trout remains good, incoming cold water continues to keep the Lake water temps very cool, Trout continue to hang in depths of 10-30 feet. Trollers are fishing the River starting at the Mouth and going up as far as Indian Rock. Try the River arm and near Twin Coves for Kokes. Lots of fish in the 10 to 12 inch size, they are plentiful and quick to bite; they have dropped down a little and are now at 40 to 50 feet. 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. Kokanee still prefer scented white corn. Browns continue to show up along the Rock Wall and at the Face of the Dam; they prefer broken back Rapalas in 40-50 feet of water. Some bass have been caught recently along the rocky outcroppings on either side of the River Mouth and working the points and coves heading up-river.

John Preston of Lake Tahoe got this nice large Mouth Bass up the River Arm. The fish weighed in at 9.69 lbs. John used a Magnum Shad Rack to put him in the box.
