August 28, 2008. Don Paganelli of Paganelli’s Bass Fishing Experience (916) 427-0374 reported the main body of the lake is holding the larger fish with a top water or spinnerbait bite in the mornings or evenings. They were able to land a 4-pound spotted bass on a Zara Spook this week. After the sun hits the water, Carolina-rigged RoboWorms or Baby BrushHawgs in crawdad colors have been working along the lake points, particularly when the wind pushes up the bait into the rocks. The fish are scattered throughout the lake, but overall “It is definitely worth someone’s time”. The water temperature varies 10 degrees from 78 to 68 degrees in the forks with the cold inflow. Access to the South and North Fork is limited to a short distance due to the low lake levels. The lack of recreational boating pressure has increased the number of trout anglers who are scratching up mixed limits of trout and salmon with lures trolled behind a Gold Star Light Dodger. The lake continues to release water rapidly with 1058 acre-feet of outflow to 32% of capacity and 389.23 feet in elevation. The majority of the ramps are out of the water at 409 feet in elevation, but Brown’s Ravine and Granite Bay are still open. Information regarding the latest ramp status is available at www.folsomlakemarina.com.
