Not too much has changed in the past week, fishing at the lower lakes are producing a lot of largemouth bass that are decent sized. At the lagoon around the shoreline form the campsites to the spillway, the largemouth bass and pan fish have been doing absolutely fantastic. Night crawlers, plastics, swim baits, crank baits, and top water baits are still the hot ticket for the largemouth. The pan fish bite all day and most of the night on meal worms, wax worms and small bits of night crawlers. Largemouth fishing at the upper lake is still doing extremely well. Live shad are the best bait to use to catch high numbers of bass. The bigger largemouth are still biting around 25 to 30 feet deep. The largemouth are biting in every cove around the lake and pretty much all day, but between 4:30 PM and closing the largemouth and the stripers go nuts and boil everywhere. The striper bite is also doing fantastic still. The stripers that are coming out to the boils still seem to range in size from 2 pounds to 4 pounds. The bigger stripers are coming off of the troll bite and the cut bait bite; these fish are around 3 pounds to 9 pounds and some even up to 20 pounds. The buoyline has recalimed its spot on theh charts by coming in as the top producing spot for stripers on the lake this week. Elizabeth canyon still has a strong striper bite on the boils all day long with better results in the evening. Unfortunately the dam fishing for the striper has still been pretty slow lately unless the stripers come in and boil mid day and that seem to be the only time people are catching them.

Fishing this past week is a little slower than last week due to the high amounts of traffic we have been getting all week. Shore fishing of the striper hasn't been very good except for on e or two days. Most people are still catching striper around 40 to 80 feet of water. The regular anchovies and sardines are still working for the striper but you need to be out on the water to catch most of...... Read More
