August 28, 2008. Manny Basi of the Bait Barn in Waterford (209) 874-301 reported small bass have been taken on top water lures such as PopR’s with Senkos in 330 also effective. Live minnows and crawdads are also producing fish. The best locations have been Barretts Cove, Piney Creek and near the rockpiles close to the Dam. Trout fishing continues to be fair at depths to 35 feet from Barretts to Horseshoe Bend and also at the 1st Buoy Line to the Dam with Wedding Rings tipped with a night crawler behind a dodger. Crappie fishing continues to be excellent at night at depths of 45 feet in the trees or rockpiles near the Houseboats with small minnows or minijigs. The catfish bite continues to be strong with anchovies or cut baits in 12 to 15 feet of water near muddy, sloping banks with the larger fishing in the mornings or evenings. Kokanee reports are non-existent. The lake dropped 1949 acre-feet to 33% of capacity.
