I've been very busy. We have been trolling 100-280 feet deep. We locate the fish on the fish finder and then troll in a "Figure Eight" pattern, bouncing the bottom. I've been fishing at Cal-Neva, Dollar Point and Sugar Pine Points.

Water levels are declining, though the water level is at the refuges objective for this time of year. The springs are producing very little water, so trout fishing has dropped off.

Last week you could only see 12 to 18 inches in the water due to the heavy algae growth. This week you can see 5 to 6 feet after the algae die-off that contributed to this week's fish kill. With the warm surface temperatures and the lack of oxygen fishing is very poor here and probably will be for the next couple of weeks.

The lake level has dropped quite a bit, though there is no recent report on fishing conditions. However, this time of year fishing in early morning before the wind picks up appears to be the best.
