Idaho Fish Report

Shaver Lake experienced Iffy weather, with off and on thunderstorms but trollers are still showing up and are taking home some fish. We averaged a single limit each trip this week, but on our Saturday trip, we picked up a nice 5.2 pound rainbow. The last day out we finally found kokanee, but strangely they were hitting our side poles at about 18 feet deep. I saw at least one boat near me also do good on the kokes on Sunday. It looks like they are starting to wake up but fishing remains hit or miss. Trout Busters tipped with crawler on the back hook and corn behind Mountain Flashers on the side poles and Orange Apex , tipped with corn behind a Captain Jack's C.J. Dodger provided all our fish Most of our fish was on Eagle Point, Black Rock and some near the island. Again, we were catching most on the side poles at 18 feet deep with an occasional on the down riggers at 36 feet deep. Shore fishermen are having some luck with trophy sized trout at Tunnel Creek, and a few at road 2. A DF&W plant this week should help the bankies out as well as trollers in the Sierra Marina area.
