The reservoir has been fishing excellent this past week! Haven't heard much from shore anglers but the boat anglers have been doing great. Still fishing and trolling have been excellent with the fly angling being a bit tougher lately.

It sounds like the channels are starting to liven up with some nice 2 and 3 pounders being caught in the Buckeye, Robinson and East Walker channels. Rainbow Point has been good as well as right out in the middle between the marina and Rainbow in about 18 to 20 feet of water. We've been seeing lots of fish in the half pound to 1.5 pound range with some fish going up to 6+ pounds.

Trollers have been using excel lures, small rapalas, blades/crawlers and bouyants, bait anglers have been using gulp clusters, power bait and crawlers. We've also had a few reports on some nice perch showing up here and there.
