Partly cloudy presently, clearing for the weekend. Look for temps in the 70s and 80s during the day 50s in the evening Sunday and beyond. Lake level has come up again and it appears to be at or near spill. Currant water temperatures are 57 degrees at 20 feet and 63 at surface look for these temps to warm during the weekend. Water clarity is good to 15 feet, this will also improve daily.

Bank Fishing - Bank fishing has been good behind the Ebay boathouse and in the cove behind the Marina in front of the Maintenance building. The last plant had some huge brooders ( to 9lbs) mixed in much to the delight of those fortunate enough to land one. The planters usually end up in the cove behind the Marina, Blue Herron Point, and the parking lot bank behind TomSawyerIsland, the Island itself and the Launch Ramp there were anglers working all those areas this morning. Night crawlers, pink power worms and green power bait are the hot baits, with wooly boogers and Kastmasters good right after the plant.

Trolling - Trolling for Trout remains good, depths and baits remain unchanged cool water temperatures are keeping the fish in shallow water generally. Trollers are still flat lining, using 3 to 4 colors of lead core or drift fishing the River starting at the Mouth and going up as far as Indian Rock. Kokanee are plentiful, small but chubby. Try the River arm and near Twin Coves. The Kokes have dropped down a little and are now at 40 to 50 feet. Small spoon or needlefish type lures in pink or florescent orange/red tipped with a night crawler, grub or power worm behind small flashers, dodgers or sidekicks in silver/green work well. Kokanee still prefer scented white corn.

Cat Fish - Cats are starting to bite in the coves at the extreme South end of the Lake. Chicken liver and power bait has been working well.
