Lake Amador Fishing Report

★★★★☆Trout bite likely to remain slow until cooler conditions return, but bass and catfish should continue to provide solid action.

Target species

Catfishbass (trout fishing poor due to warm temps)

Technique

Shore fishing in coves or from Jackson Creek arm shoreline

Water temp Warm (too warm for trout)

What is working right now

Skip trout fishing for now due to warm water. Instead, focus on catfish and bass. Try the backs of coves if fishing from shore, or head over to the Jackson Creek arm and fish from the bank. Use strong-scented baits like chicken liver, squid, stink baits, anchovies, or mackerel.
