Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Focus on deep water due to warm surface temps and bait holding near the bottom. Stick with proven color patterns (green, purple, white, pink) for hoochie combos. Be ready for some tough boat handling if the wind picks up.
Changes We’re Seeing
Kings remain scarce compared to rainbows. Wind has made boat control more challenging on certain days.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect continued deep-water fishing conditions. The guide is headed to the Klamath River next, so stay tuned for potential updates from a different fishery.
