Don Pedro Lake Fishing Report

★★★★☆Fishing should remain strong as Don Pedro hits its summer stride, with good chances for big kokanee and healthy kings continuing.

Target species

KokaneeKing SalmonRainbow Trout

Technique

Trolling
Depth 50–90 feet (especially 65–75 feet as a sweet spot)
Water temp 75°F surface; 50–90 feet holds cooler water
Clarity Good, starting to green up slightly
Level Dropping somewhat; Blue Oaks ramp temporarily closed, launches open at Fleming Meadows and Moccasin

What is working right now

Fish are schooling up, so work areas thoroughly where you get bites. Weekdays are less crowded due to ski boat traffic.
