Temperatures in the mid 70's, spring conditions, clear skies, breezy this morning with continued good weather forecast for next week.

The Lake is still roaring over the spillway again this morning. The Lake is full to the brim with water levels right at the tree line. Still a little debris in the water week but visibility has remained the same. Good visibility to 13 feet with water temperatures of 52 degrees at 20 feet and 57 at surface.

Lots of fishermen here this morning are taking advantage of the great weather and Lake conditions. The Marina reports bank anglers continue to do well during the week. Planters continue to hold in the Recreation area so anglers are doing well longer. Hot spots are the same-the EBMUD boathouse, Launch Ramp, TomSawyerIsland, the banks on either side of the Marina gangway and Rainbow Point. Kastmasters continue to be super hot, silver/blue and silver/chartreuse  ? oz size. The sliding sinker set up is best with white power eggs, chartreuse garlic flavored Power Bait with sparkles and dark green Power Bait.

Trollers are concentrating on the River Mouth and up River to Indian Rock. The Kokanee are congregating very close to the surface in the first 10 ft. Kokanee fishing still good and they continue to favor Apex lures tipped with scented shoe peg corn, Uncle Larry's fire tiger and copper pops with corn behind a small dodger. Kokes to 14 inches continue to show up on a regular basis. Trout are also active in the same region but a bit deeper at 20 feet and they prefer Uncle Larry's lures with worms and or corn. German Browns also continue to show up in the River Mouth near the Rock Wall. Mid-size broken back fire tiger and trout minnow Rapalas and the Hot Steel Rapala alone or behind a silver/green dodger at 10 to 20 feet have been getting it done! Bass fishing has also been good lately along submerged structure and rocky outcroppings near the Dam and Spillway; swim baits have been very effective.

Recent success stories: No pictures available (probably a good thing) but two long time residents and avid fishermen Dale Rose and Lowell Kreisel got respectable mixed limits of Trout/Kokanee during the week.

Congratulations Dale and Lowell-well done!!!
