The surface temperature is rising and pushing the trout a bit deeper. Surface temp taken earlier in the week was 71 degrees at 9 a.m. Shore fishermen will have to get here early in the morning to catch them from the bank and the lake now opens, at 5:30 am. Trollers are going deeper than 10 feet, although toplining seems to still be working in the early morning hours. The Biggest Trout of 2011 – a 12-pounder - was caught on a silver flasher and nightcrawler in Elmer’s Cove by Dick Hicks of Sonoma. 1-800-286-0576
