Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Switch to bait fishing and focus on deeper water near cooler channel inlets. Keep your gear clean—debris and weeds are thick.
Changes We’re Seeing
The trolling bite has completely shut down due to rising temps and poor clarity. Browns were active earlier but have dropped off.
Predictions for Next Week
Trolling will likely be fully out—expect strictly a bait bite moving forward. Brown trout action should improve again as we move closer to fall. Keep the Frankenstein Trigger Spoon ready when that window opens back up.

Recommended Gear for This Trip

Uncle Larry's Power Spinner – Trout & Kokanee

Regular price $6.25 USD
Sale price $6.25 USD Regular price

Uncle Larry’s Power Spinner is built around a premium blade and a bait-holding spring that keeps nightcrawlers, corn, and other natural baits in place through the entire troll without bunching or shredding. The combination of action, vibration, and natural scent trail produced by a correctly rigged Power Spinner is one of the most effective trout-triggering presentations you can run on a Western reservoir. Available in five proven color patterns covering the chartreuse, silver, and copper combinations that produce consistently on rainbow trout and kokanee across varying light conditions.

Trigger Spoon – Trout & Landlocked Salmon

Regular price $5.45 USD
Sale price $5.45 USD Regular price

The Trigger Spoon is Catch America's flagship trolling spoon, engineered to produce aggressive strikes from rainbow trout and landlocked salmon across every condition and depth. Its precisely tuned body geometry generates maximum flash without spinning or rolling, maintaining a true baitfish-mimicking wobble at trolling speeds from 1.5 to 3.5 mph where other spoons lose their action. The 24K gold or premium chrome base finishes maximize light reflection, and the painted color overlays match the proven forage patterns that produce in California and Western trout fisheries across all seasons. Available in over 50 color patterns — the most comprehensive spoon color range in the Catch America lineup.
