Warm weather, clear skies, gentle breezes forecast for this weekend and throughout next week.

The water level is constant at spill and holding. EBMUD continues to generate and release water to fill Camanche Reservoir. Visibility is excellent presently good to 20 feet at the Marina. Water temperatures have risen a bit since last report and are currently 58 degrees at the 20 foot mark and 64 at surface.

A few boats visible on the Lake this morning working the body of the Lake between the Mouth and the face of the Dam and in front of the spillway buoy line. The Marina reports some are also working upstream around Deer Island and Columbia. The Trout and Kokanee have gone a little deeper still and are at the 30 to 60 foot levels lately. They aren't congregating in any one spot but are moving around in the body of the Lake. Hot lures are still Uncle Larry's glow pink fire tiger, copper popsicles and desert fire lures, all tipped with corn behind a medium silver/blue or watermelon Sep's dodger. These have all been very successful combos for Kokanee and Trout. Have also heard Apex and florescent pink and green hoochies have been working.

Rainbow Point the shore behind the EBMUD boathouse the launch ramp and Porcupine Point were the most populated this morning. Saw a couple fish caught and landed while at the Marina. Garlic flavored Power bait and eggs in yellow and chartreuse remain the most successful bait along with the Pistol Pete fly at the end of a 4ft leader behind a water bobber.
