The trout bite has been fair and continues to improve with rainbows showing at the auxiliary dam and where both forks of the Kern enter the lake. Best action on floating baits, inflated nightcrawlers, or small jigs and lures. A few crappie continue to show at Rocky Point on minnows or small jigs in 20 to 30 feet of water with fish to 1-8 reported. Few reports on catfish this past week, but the bite has been consistently good on shad and clams in most coves. Most of the cats are in the 1 1/2- to three-pound range, but some to six or eight pounds. The bluegill and bass bites are slow, but a few quality bass have been reported over the past two weeks.

Slow action overall with only a fair bite on catfish and bluegill, and little else going on. The cats are best on shad and clams in most coves with most in the 1-8 to three-pound range, but some to six or seven pounds. The bluegill bite is fair to good on crickets and wax worms.
