Camanche is wide open for shore anglers who know how to reach deep water. The holdover rainbows have pushed out with the warming surface temps and are holding in cooler pockets near the main channel and the dam. Long rods paired with long leaders... stretching 6 to 10 feet... are key to getting baits into those deeper zones. Rainbow and glitter PowerBait are still the top producers. The North Shore remains a productive stretch for this setup.

On the bass side, largemouth and spots are working the shallows early but shift off the banks by mid-morning. Topwater lures can pull fish in the first and last light windows, but after that, they’re sliding deeper and getting tougher to reach from shore.
