Fly fishing on the north end of the lake is excellent. 15" Rainbows and under are coming out of Salmon Egg Shoals. Use wet flies such as beadhead, midges and mosquitos. Trollers are using green frog-type lures such as Kastmaster or Needlefish. Panther Martin yellow with black spots are also working well.
Gary of Graeagle and friends, Ralph, Ron and Bill of Lincoln Hills caught limits of 14- to 16-inch rainbows and browns while casting out of a boat using mid-size flashers and nightcrawlers. They were fishing near Frenchman Campground and the boat ramp this afternoon. We also had a report of two fishermen trolling using Needlefish and small spoons between 3 to 5 colors deep, all over the lake. They caught their limits between sunrise and 10:00 am. Bank fishing with all baits has been good also. (530) 993-4683
