With the hot temperatures lately bass fishing has been a little tough during the day but the fishermen stopping by Glory Hole Sports store report top water action early morning or later in the afternoon using the top water lure Whopper Ploppers in your favorite color and size. 130 or the 90 will do the trick fish the rocky structure and wood standing along and just off the bank. Remember big bait big fish. Trout fishing is best at first light up to 11 am trolling 60-85 feet around the 49 bridge, Carson cove, dam, or main lake. Trout are being weighed in daily with stringers weighing in between 3 and 6.5 lbs Just rig like you would for Kokanee, a pink hoochie, spinners with a piece of worm on the hook or Apex lures. Trolling Needlefish alone are also a good choice. The crappie bite is also wide open I spoke with 2 young men last Monday that had a 50 fish day using minnows but a majority of the crappie took a white and red mini jig right off the bank right around the boat ramp area, that's all the info I was allowed to share. I saw the same 2 guys the next day and they were already on fish #30 and it was only 9:00 am they started at 6:30. Catfish has been consistent fishing near the shore using cut baits, night crawlers, live minnows. The water level has gone down some and the last few nights it has begun to cool off some this should help fishing all the way around. The Kokanee never really got in the game. We always have salmon season in the river . Good luck
