The spawn is officially on. Water temps are holding in the mid to high 60s, and bass are right where you’d expect... posted up in classic spawning zones and just off the edges. Both largemouth and spots are being caught on dropshots, split-shots, tubes, and Ned rigs worked near shallow drop-offs. Brown/orange jigs and Senkos are getting picked up too when working slow and tight to cover.

Crappie are stacking up in brush piles, submerged timber, and vertical structure. Folks are dropping shiners or grubs tight to these areas with decent success. The bite isn't wide open, but they are there.

Trout planted by CDFW a couple of weeks back are still producing limits. Powerbait, micetails, and floating nighcrawlers are getting bit the most.

Bass action is wide open. Jim Taibi reports consistent action for both Largemouth and Smallmouth, with catch counts hitting 15–20 a day. Dropshot rigs are doing the most damage, but any finesse plastics or small 3″ swimbaits are working well. Bigger bites are coming on wacky-rigged Senkos fished along rocky slopes and secondary points. The bite’s active but scattered… folks are doing best moving spots frequently.

Stripers are in transition. Bait is moving into coves like Elizabeth Canyon, and while a few fish are feeding, most surface activity is tied to spawning. They’re not chasing—just going through the motions. Unlike bass that guard nests, Stripers release everything into open water and let the wind do the mixing. During this phase, they’re tough to fool. A couple might swipe, but the real action should return post-spawn.
