Lake Berryessa Fishing Report | June 23

The report at a glance

Depth

25 to 75 feet

Presentation

Trolling with six-inch trolling dodgers paired with spinners and scented corn

Lures and baits

Trolling Dodgers 6"
T-pex
Uncle Larry's power spinners
Chrome Killer scent

Other techniques

Popping the line out of the release clip to hook soft-biting fish

Advice for this week

Stay persistent even if the bite feels “off.” Soft bites mean you’ll lose some fish, but keep grinding and you’ll land quality fish.

Use chrome killer corn

Keep your gear running between 25 and 75 feet and follow marks on the graph.

What is changing

Fish were biting very softly this week and coming off the hook frequently, even after long fights.

Next week

Despite the weird bite, fishing should remain strong for kokanee, trout, and crappie if anglers keep at it and run proven gear and depths.
