Trout Fishing
Fishing for trout is the best inside of Graveyard cove in Scow Canyon. Fish powerbait or night crawlers off the bottom. People trolling have been catching larger sized trout by the dam area. Troll using rapalas without any weight added.

Catfishing
Fishing for catfish is best by boat launch. There is a lot of catfish that seem to be hungry. Many catfish are being caught by trout fishermen. To increase the chance of catching a catfish use stinky bait like chicken livers or anchovies.

Bass Fishing
The bite is still on for the bass fishermen. Top spots are the Rock wall, Sather Canyon and near the Main Rec Pier. Throw shad colored spinner baits or drop shot robo worms.
