Trout fishing is slow as fish are scattered at various depths all around the lake. Kokanee bite is good. There have been a lot of limits showing up. The fish are schooled up in 30-50 feet. Most of the fish are a good size this year, in the 12-14 inch class and very chunky. The dam, spillway, and Rose Island have been the hot spots. Bass are in pre-spawn, spawn, and post spawn. There are a lot of fish being caught shallow. The larger fish will be in deeper water either preparing to spawn or recovering from the spawn. To catch some nice fish try dragging a Brush Hog or a lizard on a Carolina rig. Try targeting areas that are protected from the main lake disturbance (wind and boating traffic). These are places where the bass like to spawn. With the weather getting warmer everyday, the top water bite should be picking up. Try throwing Spooks, Rovers, and Sammys in the morning hours for some exciting blow-ups. Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333
