Action here could not get any better, seems the Kokanee bite is on fire throughout the lake. Clients mof guide Danny Layne caught limits of the fiesty kokes in the area of spillway, in Carson Cove and near the Hi-way 49 bridge this past week. Depth remains constant 27 feet before the sun hits the water and 35 feet after. Surface water temp is rising to 76 degrees and the waters clarity remains good at 4-5 feet. Presentations that are working for me this past week include Glitterbug Hoochies, Vances' Sockeye Slammers, Uncle Larry's Spinners and Shasta's Pee-Wee Hoochies in tandem with Crystal Basin "Wildthing" dodgers in either pink or green, Vance's pink Butt dodgers and Slingblades in Watermelon pink or green. Remember when fishing Hoochies the leader shoud be no longer than 8 inches.

Scent pattern that is producing for me, Pautzke's Fire corn in pink with an added hint of Pautzkes Liquid Krill, Shoepeg scented corn in flavors of Vanilla, Garlic, Plain, and fresh water Shrimp. Rainbow trout are on an excellent bite early at depths from 15' to 19' hitting on a candy cane Apex, Don Escalleir from Twain Harte landed a beautiful rainbow on Wednesday that topped the scale at 3.2 lbs. caught in Carson Cove.  (209) 586-2383
