Good turnout for the opener despite windy weather. All campgrounds are open. Fishing rated fair overall, however some anglers are doing very well. Trolling and flyfishing consistently improving with shore fishing spotty. Water temperatures on Tuesday were running 53 to 55 degrees.
Wind can be a problem, however most days the mornings are calm.
Jack Miller from Verdi who was fishing at Mallard Cove last Wednesday caught four fish, but at noon Tuesday he had just gotten his first bite. There are occasional limits being caught but the average is one to two fish. Best areas are Camp five and Eagle Point on the west shore while on the east shore Mosquito slough and Fairview have been the best producers followed by Mallard Cove. Rainbow and lime-colored Powerbait have been the baits of choice and should be fished on a sliding sinker system. Mixed results from numerous boats coming off the lake recently.
