Happy Independence Day, cows were standing up on the drive in this morning and you know what that means! Look for temperatures in the low to mid 90's and possibly inching into the 100's for the Holiday weekend and high 90's during the week. The forecast also calls for some high clouds and gentle breezes during the day with some cooling overnight. Pardee Lake water level is presently at 93% capacity (within 5 foot of spill) with ALL launch ramp facilities and Park services available.
Bank fishing immediately improved after the plant on Thursday. Hopefully the bite will stay active in and around the Recreation Area. Saw trout landed off Blue Herron Point this morning. The Woodpile should also improve with the latest plant as well. 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.
Trolling continues to be the fishing highlight. Mixed limits of Trout and Kokanee are still being caught but reports indicate folks are having to work harder and longer to get them. Most boats have concentrated their efforts upstream in the Columbia and Deer Island areas. Fish have also gone deeper still and are now cruising the 60 to 90 foot levels seeking cooler surroundings. Some boaters have also done well tying off in upstream coves and bait fishing for Trout. Trollers are using 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, all behind medium size silver and gold dodgers. 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 tiger patterns.
The warming trends have brought out some nice catfish, check the coves from Mel's all the way down to Rattlesnake. Power bait, night crawlers and Vienna sausage are all popular with our whiskered friends.
Lake Level is currently at 93% of capacity and holding. Water temperature is currently 66 degrees at 20 feet and 68 at the surface; clarity is good to 15 feet plus.
Lake Pardee Recreation planted yesterday which brings the total to 22,000 pounds of fish for the season so far.
