With summer recreational boaters dominating much of the lake by late morning, your best bet for Folsom is either early morning or late evening. Trollers are still catching king salmon and rainbow trout, with earlier in the day being better.

Bass action has tapered slightly as the spring spawn has ended. Slowing down with soft plastics (Senkos, Ned rigs) has been best for numbers. However, the early morning reaction bite is producing bigger fish. Crank baits or topwater lures have been very effective before sunrise.

Water levels are at 91% of capacity.
