Advice for this week

Stay focused over the middle river channel—the best spot for trout holding deep.


Troll between 2.3 and 3 miles per hour with Trigger Spoons, using Chrome Killer scent for better results.


Though it’s not “limit-style” fishing, there’s still good opportunity for hooking trout if you stick to these tactics.

What is changing

The lake is small with limited deep water, so anglers need to be precise with their trolling paths.


Trout remain deep in the 20-50 ft range, likely due to warming surface temperatures.

Next week

If conditions stay consistent, expect trout to continue holding deep near the river channel.


Using the right trolling speed and scent will remain key to success at Lake Amador.


Early summer warming might push fish a bit deeper, so keep targeting those depths.
