The trout are roaming the main lake near deeper/cooler water looking for balls of shad. Anglers should try fishing close to the surface in the early morning and evening and dropping to 40-60' during the day. Night fishing anglers are catching limits of fat healthy trout under a submersible light. Try anchoring the boat in 25-50' of water, and dropping the light 15-25' feet down. Be patient, it may take awhile for the light to attract plankton, baitfish, and trout. To catch them, try using live minnows, mini jigs, Power Bait, and crawlers. Trolling anglers should target trout in the main lake, near deep water. The trout are feeding on 2 to 4 inch shad. Kokanee are starting to move a little deeper, from 40 to 60 feet is a good range to target them. Anglers have been reporting a good bite throughout the day. Once you locate a school of fish it is a good idea to stay in the area to catch your limit. The average size is a chunky 11-13 inches with a few fish measuring 14-16 inches. 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. Darker colors do work best in deeper water. Try using baits that have a large profile such as Rocky Mountain Super Squids, or Apex. Larger blades will disperse more water which will help attract fish when there is little visibility. Catfish bite is good and some big cats are showing up in shallow water. Melones catfish tend to be fish-eaters rather than bottom foragers, so use live minnows, frozen shad, mackerel, or anchovies for best success. Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333
