Drano Lake Chinook

We have had some "Good" reports from Drano Lake the first part of the wee. Seems like the fishing has gotten a little better. We have seen some nice fish in the teens to low twenties this week. Most of our customers have been happy with the results that they have been having, most averaging at least a couple of fish per day for the boat. Though not exactly red hot, it is still the best bet if you are looking for Chinook. Most of the customers are doing just fine fishing a smaller plug cut herring (Red or Green) by itself. There are a few anglers that are fishing the herring behind a small in-line flasher (Fish Flash or Cone Zone) and are getting fish also. A few are trolling plugs such as Magnum Brad's Wigglers or Magnum Wiggle Warts in flame, flame herring bone, pink or fire tiger color patterns. The bank fishermen have been tossing a combination of Vibrex Spinners or the same plugs as the boaters are towing.

Weather has been the typical Spring weather we have been contending with up this way - just wait five minutes and it will be something else. Go prepared with everything from rain gear and warm jackets to sunscreen.

Fishing should continue for awhile as dam counts have still been good.
