Boca Reservoir continues to offer steady action for both boat and shore anglers. Kokanee are staging around 60–70 feet near the dam and along the main lake channel. Trolling orange Dick Nites or pink wedding rings behind small dodgers has been the most productive approach. Trout fishing has also been solid, especially for those working the shorelines near the inlet and campground with worms, salmon eggs, or small spoons. With surface temperatures in the low 60s°F, fish are moving deeper during the day, and boat traffic begins to pick up mid-morning, so try to get your lines in early. Boca is currently at 100% capacity.
