Clear skies and temperatures in high 70's low 80 are forecast for the upcoming weekend and beyond. Warm days, cool evenings, everything is still green, weather is perfect, fishing is good, come join us!!!!!

Bank fishing has been ok but will improve with this afternoon's plant. The "Mud Hole" at the rear of the EBMUD boathouse should be good along with Rainbow, Blue Herron Point and the launch ramp. Baits and set ups remain unchanged; anglers are using chartreuse, white or rainbow Power Bait (eggs or worms) with garlic and glitter. Pistol Pete's and Mouse (mice) Tails, in addition pink Power Worms on a water bobber have been successful lately. Blue/silver Kastmasters are also hot right after the plant; they should be hot all weekend.

Trollers continue to concentrate in the South end of the Lake adjacent to the intake tower. Boaters continue to land some nice Trout and Kokanee in this area. The fish have gone a bit deeper with the warming surface temperatures. The winning combos have been Uncle Larry's and Apex lures with night crawlers or scented corn behind medium flashers or medium size dodgers in red, blue, and chrome. Some nice Kokanee caught lately but no word of Browns caught this report. Check at the Marina for all your fishing supplies, snacks, updated fishing information and hot spots.

Bass fishermen continue to hook smallies and largemouth bass along exposed rock edges all along the shore, at the south end and around the River mouth. White spinner baits and drop shots are still the ticket.

Water level has stayed just about the same as last report and is now about 12-15 feet below the spillway and constant, water temperatures still in the high 50's at the Marina this morning. Water clarity is good to about 15' plus in the Marina.

Recent success stories: Lowel Kreisel and Dan Kohl of Lincoln and Pine Grove got this respectable catch of Kokanee pulling lures tipped with corn in the South end. The next day Lowel partnered with Dale Rose to land another nice limit of Kokes same area and set ups. Congratulations gentlemen-good job! Be sure you stop by the Marina to weigh and photograph your catches so we can share them with the all publications that carry our report!

As of this afternoon Pardee Lake Recreation has planted a total to 17,000 lbs. of Rainbow Trout. The California Department of Fish and Game has also planted 2,000 lbs. of Trout to date for a grand total of 19,000 lbs.
