Hot Rod Heaven Car Show will be here tomorrow morning 8am till 4pm, cars, music and food, see you there. Temperatures in the high 80's to low 90's with some scattered clouds and breezes thought out next week. ALL launch ramp facilities still accessible.


Actually saw a couple of bank fishermen on Blue Herron point this morning, the banks have been very quiet again since last report so no new information to share. Once again the Woodpile early in the morning would be your best bet from the shore. The water is cooler and deeper there. Power Bait, chartreuse with sparkles, eggs with garlic, orange and pink mouse tails along with night crawlers on a sliding sinker or a half full water bubble all have all been successful to this point.


Trolling for Kokanee continues to be good upstream near Twin Coves, Columbia and Deer Island. Fish remain in deeper water and are still at the 50 to 100 feet levels where it's cooler. Trollers are having good luck with chrome/brass Apex lures, Hoochies, (green and pink) along with the standard beaded spinners, Uncle Larry's pinkies and white/pink hoochies, all behind medium size dodgers.


Trolling for trout has improved this report upriver near the log jam using night crawlers behind a dodgers.


The Catfish bite remains decent. Try the warmer cove areas from Mel's all the way down to Rattlesnake and upstream as well. Power bait, night crawlers, stinky chicken livers are all popular with our whiskered friends.


Bass fishing has also been good around coves and rocky points all along the eastern side of the Lake. Purple worms are the hot ones this report along with crank baits.


Lake Level is currently at 81% of capacity and holding, in the near future look for the level to drop some as water is released into Comanche Reservoir once again. Water temperature is currently 72 degrees at 20 feet and 78 at the surface; clarity is good to 17 feet plus.


Lake Pardee Recreation has planted a total of 24,000 pounds of fish for the season so far.
