Clear blue skies, temperatures in the low 90s today. The long range forecast calls for high 80s low 90s for the weekend and throughout next week. Water temperatures are currently 64 degrees at the 20 foot mark and 68 degrees at surface in the Marina. Water visibility clear to 20 feet. Water level is unchanged and remains within a foot or two of spill and steady.

BANK FISHING ---- Talked to a number of anglers that did quite well early morning at Rainbow Point. Woodpile has also picked up a bit since last report. The warmer weather continues to discourage some but the dedicated and determined bank anglers still dot the shore and the fishing has been good despite the weather. Some favor the clear bobbers with power bait suspended 3 to 6 feet below while others continue to use the sliding sinker setup. Silver/blue Kastmasters and black woolly buggers are very successful right after a plant. White power eggs, maggots and power worms are the best sellers at the Marina, with night crawlers and yellow power bait also popular. Chartreuse power bait with sparkles is also very effective.

TROLLERS----Trolling has remained good again this week, The Marina reports most regulars return with mixed limits and are back in by early afternoon. The productive spots lately have been working the Narrows, Mel's cove, Bernice's cove, the River mouth and the barrel line in the South End. Trout have remained at 20 to 40 feet but the Kokanee are deeper still at 50 to 70 feet. Trollers have reported that the Kokanee are a bit larger lately and a bit more plentiful. Equipment and bait the same: orange hoochies, bugs, sling blades or flashers tipped with a partial night crawler, small spoons or spinners, Uncle Larry's copper popper, pinkie or tiger behind a smaller Sep's silver, watermelon or silver/green dodger.

CATFISH----Cats continue to bite all along the eastern shore of the Lake. Smelly chicken livers are the hands down favorite.

BASS---Try swim baits all along the points and coves along the eastern Shore.

To date 61,000 lbs of good size Trout have been planted by Lake Pardee Inc. and the California Department of Fish and Game with another plant scheduled for the near future.
