Kokanee are on a very good bite and can be found from Coyote Creek all the way down to the south end of the reservoir. Depth will vary, Guide Danny Layne has been catching kokes from the surface down to 60 feet. Productive setups include pink or purple Apex, Shasta Wiggle hoochies, Uncle Larry’s spinners and Sockeye Slammers trolled behind either a Vance’s dodger or a small Sling Blade. For a scent use garlic, shrimp, vanilla or ginger on your corn; also working well is Pautzke’s Fire Corn. Rainbow trout are hitting from 10 to 30 feet deep off the spillway and along Glory Hole point. Flasher/crawler combos, small Ex-Cel or green Glitter Bugs are producing trout to three pounds. Catfish bite is picking up, and will only get better with the warm weather. There has been a mud line that forms around the shore line of the lake. This water will be warmer than clear water and is a good place to target catfish. There is a large amount of shad in the lake this year for those large cats to fatten up on. Try using frozen shad or a ball of crawlers fished on a sliding sinker rig. Crappie fishing is good. There have been some two pounders caught. This is prime time to target the crappie. Use Beetle Spins, mini jigs, and minnows in 15 to 25 feet of water. Target shallow coves that have rock piles and scattered wood. Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333, (209) 586-2383
