Fishing is starting to change towards Fall Patterns
 
Trout
Fishing was only fair this week, and very unpredictable as to lure selection and fish location. The dissolved oxygen by the dam is to low for fish to survive, so unless the MWD turns on the aerator, don’t waste your time fishing there! Fish from Boulder Bay to Gillner Point, and from the surface down to four colors. Rapalas, Needlefish, Helgi’s, and Dick Nite Spoons are all effective. Bait fishermen that are drifting slip bobber rigs from Boulder to Metcalf Bay are catching their share of fish on Nitro Bait, Power Bait, and night crawlers.
 
Bluegill & Crappie
Fish around the docks and brush for good Bluegill action with a bobber & meal worm. Try deeper water points, 15′ to 20′ for crappie.
 
Catfish
September thru October are your best chance to catch a Big Bear Bruiser Catfish! Fish heavy mono (15 lb. to 20 lb. test) to have the best chance to catch a big one. Night crawlers, shrimp, chicken livers, mackerel all produce.
