Anglers are still having fair to good success for the channel catfish by using shrimp, worms or stinkbaits. One angler caught several bullheads and a few perch from the airport dike this week. The more time you spend on this lake, the better you will learn the secret locations and habits of the different species of fish. Worms are your best bet to catch any one of several species of fish. Perch numbers are down but a State Park Ranger reports a few perch and walleye being caught.
Trout fishing is very slow.
Good smallmouth bass fishing using crayfish colored grubs anywhere in the reservoir with rocky structure. For larger fish, use a heavier jig head and work the combo into 15 to 20 feet of water. Kokanee salmon fishing is good to excellent, with fish found at 45 to 60-foot depths. Try small fluorescent lures, with or without a dodger or popgear. Good areas include Skull Creek, Goosenecks, Red Cliffs, Hideout, Sheep Creek, Pipeline, Anvil Draw, Lowe Canyon and Squaw Hollow.
