Pardee is primarily focused on bass, catfish, and bluegill right now. Trout action has been nearly nonexistent and will stay that way until the water cools and stockings pick up again. Bass are running 1–2 pounds, with most of the action coming on finesse baits. Dropshots and small swimbaits are producing the most consistent action. Catfish are also hitting well on mackerel and chicken livers.

Reports mention quite a few small kokanee are beginning to push into the river arm to spawn... a positive sign for next year.

Due to continued golden mussel regulations, Pardee is still primarily a bank fishing lake unless you rent one of their onsite boats.
