Natoma has quietly been putting out some excellent fishing over the last week. Water temps are now in the low 60s, and bass are moving into the shallows for prespawn. Anglers report the southern end being best, with slightly warmer temps. Senkos, drop-shots, and T-rigged worms are all getting fish in the 10–15 foot range. Most fish have been 1-2 pounds.

There haven’t been any reported rainbow stocks this year, but a few anglers are still tapping into good trout action (and the occasional salmon). The north end under Rainbow Bridge has been producing some nice fish, with a few reported up to 8 pounds. The pattern has been mixed… some reporting nightcrawlers, while others are throwing spoons and small crankbaits.
