Speedy Shiners, Excels and Needlefish are all good choices. few local guides have found some kokanee and expect them to start biting in the next few weeks. This warming trend in the weather should jump start the kokanee bite. In the next couple weeks we should start seeing a few limits. To target kokanee try trolling in 40-60' of water. A small blade trailed by a small hoochie is a good setup that works every year. Bass: Good. This spring the bass bite has been exceptionally good. We have seen a bunch of huge fish and some impressive limits. The fish are starting to spawn and it is very important to practice catch and release.

Try fishing a variety of soft plastics near the shoreline to find the fish. Senkos, Brush Hogs, Lizards and Roboworms have all been working well. Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333
