Kokanee action remains solid, with limits still commonplace, although fish are moving deeper. The bite should last another couple of weeks, then spawn mode will shut things down.

The morning bass bite has been excellent on topwater and reaction baits in the shallows. But they move deep quickly as the sun rises, and the bite transitions to slow-moving soft plastics in 15-20 feet of water. Target rocky areas, especially for smallmouth and spots.

Crappie are still being found around the lake on jigs and spinners.
