 The roads are open. The lake level is good and the fishing has been good to fair for small rainbows. This is not to say you will not catch only small fish. I have caught some of my biggest rainbows and cutthroat trout out of this lake. This time of year, floating a night crawler can be very successful. For those that use powerbait, if you're not getting any bites, change up your colors. I have had good green mornings, then shut down real quick. Change over to salmon peach and the bite is on. For fly anglers, throw a black or chartreuse wooly bugger. For more information, stop by the Creekside Lodge in Markleeville.


Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
