Mix up the color combinations until you find one that works. Best fishing is over the drop-offs along the shoreline on the leeward side of points. Use short erratic strips and vary the speed of the retrieve until you start hooking fish. Moderate fishing pressure. Try fishing the west side of the lake around Indian Head, Warrior Point, and the nets.
Fishing is fair to good one day, poor the next.
Best fishing is from midday to late afternoon. Caddis pupa, BWO, or midge patterns fished under an indicator in the Redding to Anderson area are most productive.
