Pine Flat received its first stocking of the winter season this week, which should fire up shoreline action and reinvigorate the fishery for the coming weeks. Otherwise, holdover rainbows have been chasing shad schools around the lake in upwards of 30 feet of water. Trollers are picking up fish by flatlining shad-colored spoons, though action has slowed compared to earlier this month. The same goes for the Kings.

Bass are settling into their winter patterns, holding mostly in 50+ feet of water, though some are chasing bait schools higher in the water column. Dragging dropshot worms slowly is your best bet. If you’re targeting shad schools, try an underspin or A-rig.
