Lake Camanche Fishing Report

★★★★☆Expect shore fishing to remain productive, especially for catfish and panfish, while trout success may hinge on finding deeper, colder water away from weeds.

Target species

Troutcatfishbassbluegillcrappie

Technique

Long leaders (6–10 feet) to suspend PowerBait above weeds

Depth Shore fishing only; for trout, cast far into deep water near river channels

Water temp Warming up, causing weed growth

What is working right now

Focus on shore fishing since no boats are allowed. For trout, use long leaders (6–10 feet) to keep PowerBait suspended above weeds and cast into deeper, colder water near the river channel. For catfish, stink baits work great. For bass, bluegill, and crappie, try mini crawlers near shore. Study your maps to pinpoint deeper areas on both north and south shores for better success.
