Kokanee have moved into the creeks leaving anglers to macks and rainbows. Both are eager to bite along the west shore. Mack limits come easy. Trolling can attract rainbows. Mike Nielsen (530) 721-0593 www.tahoetopliners.com

Fish are pretty concentrated now and everyone should put in the back of their minds what the river looks like now.  Take a careful look at structure that is now out or partly out of the water for a reference later when the water does come up.  Very little water coming out of Tahoe and very little water coming out of the dam at Boca.

Pyramid Lake is now open. Early reports from opening day were pretty mixed. The surface water temperature is still in the low to mid 60's. This is fairly warm going into the season. Boaters did the best trolling in 10-30 feet of water on the West side of the lake. Shore anglers are going to have to deal with weeds for a few more weeks

Fishing is very good. Kokanee are chasing jigs in 90 to 100 feet of water near Camp Richardson. Kokes are still in good shape. Morning bite is the best time. Full moon impacted the mack bite. Macks are getting ready to go into pre-spawn mode and become very aggressive. Jigs also are the best way to go. Find them in 140 to 200 feet of
