Spooner Lake Fishing Report

by LIZ WEIRAUCH
A PERSONAL NOTE: catch a chub, KILL IT.. This lake has become so over populated with chub, that the trout there are competing for food. Not much has changed since last week's report: Damsels, zebra midges, copper johns, PT's buggers in white, olive, zug bugs, princes. If you see lips: Para Adams, Trico. Just want to catch ANY fish (chub)

Lake Tahoe Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Mackinaw action has been hot. many limits of 3-6 pound fish have been coming in. Last Saturday Michell Kindall from Alaska reeled in a nice 20 pound mackinaw while fishing on the PT 109 with Gene St Denis. Best action has been on the Tahoe shelf in 120 to 240 feet of water. Medium chrome dodger and a live minnow has been most productive. Kokanee

Topaz Lake Fishing Report

by DOUG BUSEY
Fishing has been fair for those that work for it. I fished with friend Tom last week and we trolled Rapals and Needlefish for 6 hours. We were rewarded with 2 rainbows each ranging 15 to 19 inches. On the weekends the water skiers and jet skiers will be out by about 10am so hold on to your life vest. Some are not so courteous
