Kaweah Lake rose to 16 percent of capacity, and fishing remains fair. The good news is that Kaweah is slated for a trout plant this week, and anglers have been fooling trout with dough baits, nightcrawlers, Mousetails, and lures. The bad news is that bass fishing remains fair. Luckily, there are signs of life as anglers have been reporting better numbers and a few pre-spawn females. Drop shot, Ned rigs, and other finesse baits worked in 20 to 40 feet of water for numbers while jigs on points fooled bigger bass. Catfish anglers got bite while using chicken liver, dip bait, and frozen sardines.
