Idaho Fish Report

The lake fell slightly to 77 percent of its storage capacity, and water temperatures moved up to 67 degrees. The lake was still murky from recent storms with the Ski Arm holding cleaner water than the Fish Arm. Bass fishing has been decent for anglers using finesse techniques and Thin Senkos. Bass held in 5 to 25 feet of water on main lake points, secondary points, near cobble stone, and along bluff walls. Purple, brown, and dark green all worked to trigger bites. Striped bass took trolled A-rigs and flies on main lake points in 25 feet of water. Striper anglers also scored bites while soaking cut baits along the dam. Catfish ate cut baits, dip bait, and chicken liver in deeper coves around the lake, and huge rainbows took Kastmasters, spinners, and jerkbaits in Elizabeth Canyon and the backs of coves.
