The trout bite has been getting a little tougher each week.  The lake level is dropping and the water temperature is warming.  This will push the trout from the shallows back out to deeper/cooler water.  Try to find areas with clearer water that are protected from the wind and have deep water access.  Also, if you are fishing an area with slightly stained to murky water, try using bright colored baits and lures.  Bank anglers have been catching a very few fish.  Glory Hole Point is a good area to try because the main river channel swings close to the shoreline.  For bait try using chartreuse or rainbow garlic scented Power Bait.  To locate fish try fan casting a Kastmaster.  Gold, brook trout, and orange are all good color choices for stained water.  Trolling anglers try targeting the fish with the use of downriggers or leadcore line, from 30-60' of water.  The fish should be near creek channels and the river channel and heading back out to the main lake. Kokanee: Slow.  The fish generally start biting again in the spring mid-April into May, but we've had reports of a few being caught.  We expect the bite to come on any day now. Try trolling a pink hoochie, spinner, or bug behind a teardrop dodger while trout fishing and you might pick up a few kokanee.  Also, nightcrawler and garlic nightcrawler scent works best at the first part of the season.

Bass: Good.  The bass are moving into shallow water and staging for the spawn.  To catch shallow fish try using small bright colored crank baits or spinner baits.  To target deeper/staging fish that are staging on offshore structure, try using a drop-shot rig with a 4-6" straight tail worm.  Bold Bluegill is a color that Roboworm makes that works exceptionally well during the spring months.  Another deep water fish catcher is a football head jig.  Try fishing ½ - ¾ ounce jigs in crawdad colors.  Brown/purple, green pumpkin/purple, and green pumpkin are all good color choices.
