[Fishing Report]

In the East Bay, the areas producing the best salmon action have been near Yuba and Elk Rapids when trolling 70 to 80 feet down in waters 95 to 145 feet deep. Productive baits have been Hootchie Mama's and Spin-doctors with white or silver flies. For lake trout, try fishing off Willow Point, South Bank, Yuba and Elk Rapids. Boats are trolling about halfway down in waters 110 to 140 feet deep with spoons in green and white, green and silver, and green and blue. The West Bay also has fair to good fishing for salmon and lake trout. Try fishing off the White Walls, the Gravel Pit and the Red Buoy 8.
