A hot, smoky week is getting a much-needed dose of cool, weather, rain and relief. That is just what the salmon ordered and the results already are showing. Salmon bite remains good on the lower Klamath, but is now worthwhile on the Sacramento from Princeton on up to Red Bluff. Bodega Bay salmon are biting as well as salmon off the San Mateo County Coast. There are salmon marauding in the Pillar Point Harbor, offering shore anglers a shot at kings. But there is more than salmon worth chasing. Find out more in this week’s Best Bites:

LEWISTON LAKE trout: Power Egg/salmon egg combos on a two-foot leader are accounting for a lot of trout limits at the Marina and north of the Marina. Trolling is good with Little Cleos behind a flasher. Lake is clearing and the flow is minor. Pine Cove Marina (530) 778-3878

LOWER KLAMATH salmon: Salmon quota this week was reached at the mouth of the Klamath, closing the spit. Estuary remains open. Fishing is good on the lower Klamath and this dose of rain should provide a boost. Mike Coopman (707) 465-1367; Mike Stratman (707) 601- 8757
