Conditions : McPhee Reservoir - As of 8/19/2019, anglers are reporting that the water is dropping so be careful of rocks exposed in the water when boating. The water temperature is currently in the high 60’s with clarity about 6 to 7 feet. Trolling traditional kokanee rigs still seems to be the most productive technique. Anglers are having the most success trolling with small squids and spinners in pink, orange, and chartreuse. Kokanee can also be caught during the summer and jigging chartreuse and silver spoons. Smallmouth bass fishing has also been good especially during the cooler parts of the day. Anglers targeting smallmouth during lower light periods such as dawn and dusk have had the more recent success fishing deeper in 10 to 15 feet of water using small jig heads with plastic worms. Reports of lots of small sized bass being caught.
