Things are picking up at Don Pedro with both trout and kings on the chew reports Monte Smith of Gold Country Sport Fishing. Kings are coming on corn-tipped lures run behind dodgers, anywhere from 20 to 70 feet down. Rainbows are up higher, usually between 15 and 30 feet, and chasing shad-patterned spoons. The water’s in great shape—clear with surface temps hovering in the mid-50s.

Bass are active too, with numbers on plastics and better size coming off swimbaits and umbrella rigs. A cold front could stall things a bit, but overall the lake’s fishing well.
