Don Pedro Lake Fishing Report

★★★★☆Fishing should stay strong into fall and winter, with good kokanee action expected to continue if fish hold in the lake longer into the season.

Target species

KokaneeKing salmonRainbow trout

Technique

Trolling Uncle Larry’s behind CA trolling dodgers with short setbacks (10–15 feet)
Depth 55 to 80 feet; shallower early mornings
Level Lake dropping slightly but stable overall
Weather Hot, but mornings are cooler for fishing
Best time Early morning

What is working right now

Put in your time and cover water—kokanee are scattered in open water but willing to bite. Don’t be afraid to fish shallow early in the day as kokanee move up to feed. Short setbacks and big dodgers create the action these late-season fish want.
