Trout have moved out to deeper/cooler water. The fish are feeding in 40-60' of water on main lake points near the old river channel.  Night fishing anglers are catching limits of fat healthy trout under a submersible light.   Try anchoring the boat in 40-50' of water, and dropping the light 15-25' feet down. Fair.  Kokanee anglers are catching most of their fish in the early morning and picking up a few here and there throughout the afternoon.  We have been having some very hot weather, which will push the fish to deeper/cooler water. There are a lot of schools of kokanee holding tight to cover.  Try fishing near deep under water points and humps.  Most of the fish are being caught from 65-95' on the main lake near the dam, spillway, and Rose Island.

 

Early morning bass bite has been good.  The fish are primarily feeding on large balls of shad.  Anglers should try using shad patterned top water baits in the morning and switching to shad patterned soft plastics as sun comes up.  There has been a good jig bite.   Glory Hole Sports  (209) 736-4333, (209) 586-2383
