Good fishing is catching on at Don Pedro Reservoir!

King Salmon, Kokanee and Rainbow Trout bite remains excellent. The cloudy and cold weather is making King Salmon action sporadic at times. Lots of small fish with a few 2 and 3 pounders mixed in. Our last outing we were working depths between 80 to 120 feet in Middle Bay to Jenkins Hill. Most were falling for Shad Pattern Slim Fins and Rolling Shad.

Rainbow Trout are fairly easy to come by, we found bows in the same area as the Kings down 30 to 50 feet. Uncle Larry's Spinners, R&K Hoochies, Slim Fins, Marni Bugs in various colors are working well. Kokanee are a little hard to come by, don't expect to have a 30 or 40 fish day. However, the ones we are catching are from 1.10 to 2.2 pounds. Averaging 16 1/2 inches. The Koks are scattered through Fleming Bay and Middle Bay 30 to 80 feet deep. They too are hitting on the same as the Rainbows including rolling shad. Water temperatures 68 degrees.

Picture 1 shows Tammi and Patrick Callen of Dixon, Ca. and Cheryl and Ryan Enold of Petaluma, Ca. who had a blast catching and releasing over 50 fish before settling for this nice 20 fish limit! Picture 2 shows how excited Cheryl Enold of Petaluma was after boating this 2.2 Kokanee!
