The Rainbow Trout are in the shallows and are on a good bite. Troll where you have a lot of rocks in 40 feet of water. Troll heavy lures 150 feet behind the boat and make a lot of turns. The Mack bite is so so... some days you get them and others you don't. The Tavern Hole has been good at around 140 feet.

Mackinaw or lake trout fishing has been producing some nice fish for those that have the right gear and knowledge. There are guides available for others. Shore fishing is fair for stocked rainbow trout. Cave Rock was last planted on June 6, 2007, but will be stocked again in the next couple of weeks.

Fishing has slowed with the approach of summer. Shore anglers do their best in the early morning. Boat fishermen going deep have reported fair to good success on rainbow and brown trout. Several anglers were checked this past weekend with some nice rainbow trout to 3-pounds that were captured deep trolling (40 feet).

Fly fishing remains good on stocked rainbow and tiger trout. Try a midge pattern behind a prince nymph. Lure fisherman have had good luck with black and yellow Panther Martins. Anglers can now use worms or Power Bait. Use a canoe or float tube to get away from the aquatic vegetation that chokes the shoreline. Shore anglers can find open water around the dam.

The bite is up and down. One day they are biting and the next they aren't. Most of the fish are back out in front of Tahoe City on the Tavern Hole. Trolling in about 140 feet of water will get you into some fish. Try some Apex and some flatfish. We like to run rainbow color Apex and Sliver and blue flatfish. You can
