Other Notable catches this week:

Julie and Deb Denton of Davis, CA caught a 3 pound 11 ounce beauty using orange Powerbait. The location of their fishing spot was the South Shore.

Brant York of Boron, CA landed a nice 3 pound 10 ounce rainbow. Brant was using Salmon Eggs and was fishing at the Inlet.

Tactics/Bait: Rainbow, orange, and green PowerBait all had good success this week on the lake. Red/gold Thomas Bouyants, Power Worms and Powerbait Mice Tails were also very productive. Inflated night crawlers are always a great choice of bait. Salmon eggs have been working both in the creek and the lake. The hottest spot this week was the Inlet and South Shore. The Jetty and North Shores have also been fishing well. Other locations to try are the Outlet, West Shore, Creek, Handicap Pier and Hangman's Tree.

Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive: Trout Teasers, green or brown Marvel Fly Lures, Panther Martin, NeedleFish, Thomas Bouyants, Green Wooly Booger and Lip RIpperz Hatchery Dust on Powerbait.
