The salmon bite is on at Don Pedro. Guides are out there daily pulling quality Kokanee and Kings all around the lake. Pink hoochies with gold dodgers seem to be the money combination (tipped with scented corn), run between 45-60 feet. Early mornings have been the most productive, but guys are still getting fish launching their boats late. Reports mention the speed matters... so if fish aren't biting, switch it up quickly. There's no consistent speed pattern right now, so experimentation is essential.

The spotted bass bite has been awesome as well, as fish transition out of spawn and start keying in on shad. Any shad-imitation baits... underspins, A-rigs, jerkbaits... are all getting fish. The topwater bite is really firing off as well off points and backs of coves in the mornings. A few guys are still throwing big swimbaits with success... hitting those trophy bass still keyed in on rainbows and smaller salmon.
