The lake level has been dropping a few feet. The EID day use and boat launch will remain open as long as weather permits. The fishing has been very slow for boaters. Shore anglers by Woods creek and the spillway area have done fair with inflated nightcrawlers or powerbait. The CDFW is scheduled to plant catchable rainbow trout this week.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
