Water is stained in many areas and will occasionally clear up. The water temperature is warm, with the average being 76-81 degrees. Glory Hole Point boat launch is a two lane dirt road and gravel leading off of the end of the point. There is not a courtesy dock and it is best to launch with a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Trout: Fair. Most anglers that are on the water are not targeting trout. The trout are down in deep water and holding near the old lake and existing river channel. The shad have also headed toward these deep/cool areas, and the trout will feed on them throughout the day. Trolling anglers try trolling down to 50-70' of water. Use a good topographical map or the contour map on your fish finder to avoid snagging your presentations on the bottom. When fishing in deep water you should use baits that rattle or wobble side-to-side. Kokanee: Fair. Some anglers continue to target the kokanee and a still catching fish on each outing. The bite should remain throughout August and September. Then it will taper off as they move upriver to spawn. Most anglers are finding their luck trolling in 45-65' of water on the main lake. The main body of water is still plenty deep and can be trolled without getting snagged. The bass bite has been a little unpredictable. Some days they have been easy to find and other days they are tougher to locate. The lake level has been dropping each day. This will make the fish a little finicky, and many will pull offshore and suspend making them difficult to target. The morning topwater bite has slowed, but it's always a good idea to have one tied on. Most fish are being caught on the bottom using soft plastic baits. It is best to use a weedless presentation to avoid getting snagged in the wood. Crawdad and shad patterns will continually produce bites. This has been a great year for large catfish and anglers continue to haul in some lunkers. The catfish are cruising the shoreline and feeding on small fish and crawdads. Traditionally catfish are considered bottom feeders, but they are actually fairly aggressive and will hunt for their prey much like a bass would. Glory Hole Sports (209) 736-4333
