Trout and salmon reports at Pine Flat have been quiet lately, which is typical this late in the warm season, as rising water temps tend to shut those bites down. The bass bite, however, has been very good. Choppos, Whopper Ploppers, and other prop baits are getting crushed in the early morning by quality spotted bass in the 1-3 pound range. Once the sun peaks, most of the action shifts deeper, where jigging spoons and finesse soft plastics are producing best. Some anglers are also finding success in the late evenings by tossing green pumpkin or black swim jigs and connecting with some really solid fish. Look for the bite to only improve in the coming weeks as fall conditions start to roll in.
