The lake level and the marina are operating at full speed with no trouble launching at this time.?? Check with Jeffery after this week before arriving if you wish to launch your own rig at the marina.?? The rental boat fleet will be in full operation with no difficulties anticipated in the near future.?? The Bridge is a good alternative for persons wishing to angle with bait and keep fish since Crowley has special regs after July 31st.??

The fishing remains very good and you will find concentrations of browns and rainbows in front of the marina in the Walker Channel or around the drop-off towards Rainbow Pt.?? The hot tip from Jeffery is for tubers to troll Punk Perch or Damsel nymph's #10-14 along the north shore towards the dam from the public launch ramp.?? He has had some great reports from tubers doing this recently.?? Still water nymphing has been very productive.?? Locate yourself in a clear area free of weeds and grass. GUIDE TIP: (if there is a light wind these weedy sections will appear slick or calmer than the clean water). Positioning your tube or boat on the edges of the channel will get you into good numbers of fish.?? Gillies #18-20, Punk Perch, Vanderleeches, #14-16, and pupa patterns #18-20 on top, a tiger or zebra #16-18 as a dropper.?? You can find fish in as shallow as 3 feet in the channel.?? This is a good year for tubers on the Bridge as you do not need to make the long kick towards Buckeye Bay.??
