Bass fishing remains a grind at Pedro, with rising water and off-color conditions spreading from the inlets into the main lake. Jigs are still the most reliable option when worked slowly... but it’s junk fishing overall, no pattern is holding. A few suspended fish are being picked off with flukes and jerkbaits as well.

Trout are the better bet right now. Trollers are running shad-patterned spoons or crawler blades anywhere from the surface to 25 feet and getting decent action. The water’s stained, so scent matters... soaking your nightcrawlers or spoons can be the difference.
