The lake level dropped close to one foot this week, and is currently 78 feet from full.  Water temperature is warming daily with the average being 54-56 degrees with some parts of the lake 58-60 degrees in the afternoon. Trout bite has been good for some anglers, and fair for most. The trout are scattered throughout the water column from the surface to 30 feet. Trolling anglers should try fishing the main lake near the dam/spillway and Rose Island. Kokanee action is good. The fish are scattered from 20 to 50 feet. The fish are a good size for this time of the year - 13-14 inches - and very chunky. Try fishing the main lake with a finesse trolling setup. A Glitterbugs pink Micro Hoochie or an Anglers Market Kokanee Bites trolled behind a small tear drop dodger is great way to get a limit. Pink, watermelon, and silver have been good color choices for dodgers. Bass fishing is quite good. Big ones are still showing up with more of the smaller easy to catch fish, too.  The giant fish are being caught on mainly jigs, worms, and swim baits. Try fishing main lake points leading into spawning areas.  These are staging areas where the fish will stacked up before they spawn. Also it is a good time to use soft plastics such as Senkos, Brush Hogs, and lizards. These bait will catch there fair share of fish and will also produce an occasional lunker fish. Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333
