Rising water has been reshaping the edges at Boca, pushing fresh mud onto the banks and creating some messy foot traffic for shore anglers. Still, the bite near the dam and southeast shoreline has been decent, especially early. Nightcrawlers and PowerBait fished off the bottom are working best.

Boaters working the open water are connecting with both trout and kokanee. Most fish are coming 45 to 60 feet down, hitting small Rapalas, dodgers, and spinner setups. The bite isn’t wide open, but if you cover water and stay on the move, you’ll find action. The middle of the lake has been more productive than the edges.

Up near the inlet, fly anglers are seeing occasional grabs swinging leeches and small streamers... more of a quality-over-quantity game right now, but worth a look.

Rainbow Trout, Kokanee Salmon

Boca is seeing an increase in boat activity with summer upon us. But fishing for both trout and Kokanee has been productive. Trollers are targeting 40-50 feet of water, hitting both species... while shore casters are soaking powerbait or live worms in areas with the deepest shore decline. A couple of nice browns were reported as well.

Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout

Both rainbow and brown trout are being caught near the dam, for trollers and shore casters. The usual suspects are being used from shore... nightcrawlers and Powerbait.
