Night fishing for trout has been good. Most anglers fishing under submersible lights are catching limits of chunky 2-pound rainbows. Nightcrawlers and Power Bait are working well. The trout will school in deeper/cooler water during the hot summer heat and move into shallow water at night to feed. It is a good idea to anchor in 40-60' of water that is near 100-200' areas. Drop your light 10-20' down and fish your presentations below that. Trolling anglers have been doing better each week and bringing in a handful of nice trout along with their kokanee. The trout are drawn to deeper/cooler water. The main river channel will have the coolest water throughout the summer. Try trolling in 30-50' of water at 2.5-3.0 mph. The kokanee are biting and most anglers are catching limits. The average size is 11-13" with a few fish measuring 14-16". The fish are schooling in deep water off of Glory Hole Point and near the dam, spillway and Rose Island. A variety of colors are producing limits. Orange has been a favorite for a couple of weeks. Fish will be keying on baits that disperse water and create vibration. Try using different blade style on each setup until you find one that works. Try using spinners, Apex and bladed hoochies. It is also a good idea to modify your dodgers by adding a little bend to them. This modification will give the blade and bait more side-to side swing. Bass are done spawning and moving out into deeper water where they will spend the summer. They will move shallow at night and in the morning for a short period of time to feed. Then they will head back to cool water for the hot hours of the day. Try using reaction baits in the cooler hours of the day and switching slower moving baits during the heat. A great presentation that works at all depths is a Carolina Rig. Try using a soft plastic lizard or brush hog and keep contact with the bottom.Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333, (209) 586-2383
