Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: cooling water draws trout toward the shallows, while warmwater fish (smallmouth bass here) move deeper. For rainbow trout, shore anglers can fish a worm or dough bait on the bottom in the shallows, and boaters can troll crankbaits, pop gear with a worm, or a dodger paired with a squid, at any depth from just below the surface to 40 feet down. Smallmouth bass eat mainly crayfish and yellow perch: cast spinnerbaits, crankbaits, twist tail grubs or tube jigs straight out from shore, or suspend a worm-tipped jig a couple of feet below a bobber around rocks or submerged brush. For yellow perch, work sandy shorelines, or places where cobble gives way to mud or sand, with a worm fished beneath a bobber or dropped to the bottom; from a boat, look for schools in 6 to 30 feet of water and jig a worm-tipped jig or spoon straight down once you find them.
Keeping kokanee is prohibited statewide, starting Sept. 10 and running through Nov. 30; the closure protects them during their spawn.
