Some giant Kokanee are coming out of Berryessa this year... multiple reports of thick/round fish up to 18 inches. Limits are still the standard right now, but depending on fishing pressure and weather... some days are tougher than others. Fish seem to be all over the water column in the main lake right now, from 30-70 feet, so sonar has been absolutely key. Hoochies and Uncle Larry spinners have been producing best.

Trout guys are running Speedy Shiners and gold spoons... pulling some nice rainbows and the occasional king.

Bass and crappie remain good as well. Spotted bass and smallmouth are hitting near rock and secondary points on underspins and jerkbaits. Some bigger largemouth are being caught in the mornings on topwater... poppers and walking-style baits. Trollers running live minnows or small swimbaits are pulling some nice crappie slabs once they get into schools.

Plenty of action at Berryessa right now, not matter what you are targeting.

Water temps are sitting in the mid-high 70s at Miramar, and water levels are extremely high. The lake edges are covered with live and dead tule, which can be good or bad depending on how you plan to fish the lake. T-rigged soft plastic worms, Senkos, and punch baits are all getting fish if you can throw them deep into those tules... but getting into the back of these areas can be tough in bigger boats. Kayaks, small boats, and shore guys have the best access. A good number of fish are in open water as well, hitting jerkbaits, Flukes, and live shiners which you can buy at nearby tackle shops (Lemon and East County). Not a lot of big fish being caught... mostly 1-2 pounders with the occasional 3-4.
