Fishing Report for the week of 05/04/2026

Rainbow fishing continues to be great, and more anglers have been getting out in there boats with the nice weather. Trolling brown, yellow, and orange crankbaits on the lower end of the reservoir has been producing good numbers of trout. Using cowbells and spinner combos tipped with a worm is also working well. Flyfishing has been very productive near the shorelines for trout and using small zebra midges or balanced leeches is popular. Walleye and perch fishing has been slow but look for this to pick up soon, try jigging with crawlers around various points and weed beds. A few anglers have been out fishing for kokanee near the Dam with downriggers, dodgers and kokanee spinners but not many kokanee are being caught at this time.
