Weather forecast is a carbon copy of last report, temperatures in the high 80's low 90's today the weekend and throughout next week. Clear skies, gentle breezes and cooling in the evenings. Pardee Lake water level is presently at 90% capacity with ALL launch ramp facilities and services available.


Reports indicated it's been slow for bank fishermen in the Recreation Area most of last week. No bank fishermen visible this morning anywhere along the bank except for a few determined souls over on Stoney Point Landing. According to a source on the gate the Woodpile continues to produce some nice trout during the week. No real quick limits but still the best producing location lately. Power Bait, Chartreuse with sparkles, eggs with garlic, orange mouse tails along with night crawlers on a sliding sinker or a half full water bubble all continue to be effective combos thus far for Trout.


Mixed limits of Trout and Kokanee are the rule for Trollers. Most boats are working the deeper center sections of the Lake from the Narrows to the South End intake area and from the face of the Dam to the Rock Wall and further upstream. Kokanee have gone a bit deeper since last report to the 60-70 foot level. Trout have become elusive and harder to locate. Hoochies, (green and pink) along with the standard beaded spinners, Uncle Larry's pinkies and white/pink hoochies all behind a medium dodger are a good bet. Apex and Sling Blades are getting the nod as well for Kokes. Those Trout caught lately have been partial to needle fish, primarily reds and fire tiger patterns.


This group of local residents from Stockton had a great time here over the Father's day weekend and got some nice skillet size cats! Didn't get the 411 on names or info but it's still a great picture. Glad you all had a great time!!!
