Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Fish the main lake basin in large circles, hitting spots like Green Bridge and Bidwell. Naked bait setups can be a blast for hooking up without heavy tackle. Stick near bait even if the screen looks quiet at first—fish will move in and out.
Changes We’re Seeing
Light fishing and water skier pressure, with excellent fish quality still holding strong.
Predictions for Next Week
Fishing should remain solid until the end of the month, after which things may start getting tougher as conditions shift.
