average . Folsom ’ s water level is 374 feet in elevation , 92 feet from maximum pool . Anglers continue to hook spotted , smallmouth and largemouth bass while using an array of offerings as the lake level gets lower and lower . Brent Steele in the Folsom Lake Fishing Report Facebook Page reported on August 18 , “ I took my buddy out for his first time on the boat yesterday evening and he landed six bass . He had a light rod with 6 lb . line and didn ’ t break off once !” Kevin Fogal reported tough fishing while salmon trolling at Folsom on August 14 . “ I fished Folsom lake today for the first time in about 1-1 / 2 months . I caught two small salmon , probably 16 inches or so , and a 5 or 6 pound pike-minnow and that was it . I donated one of my home made pencil lead downrigger weights I make for free and about four or five flashers in four hours of trolling . It got too hot early .” Catfish action is picking up for anglers tossing out mackerel , chicken liver , sardines , crawdads and other baits on Folsom . “ Both State Parks and the El Dorado Sheriff ’ s department have boats on the lake to ensure that boaters are following the lake ’ s speed limit ,” according to the Folsom Lake Marina . “ The lake is dropping every day and what was a safe place to swim yesterday , may have hidden dangers just under the surface today . Never dive into water that has not been checked for rocks or shallow ground . This is a simple task that can prevent a real tragedy .”

BYRON - While trout plants have been halted until the water cools down this fall , the lake management is planting channel catfish at Los Vaqueros Reservoir . The latest plant of 1,000 pounds of channel cats went in on August 4 . There are still plenty of trout out there swimming around . Just ask Los Vaqueros regular Yekan El Nakar who landed a limit of scrappy rainbow trout while fishing white worms from the bank in the South Cove during a trip to the lake this August . On a previous angling adventure , El Nakar landed a “ potluck ” catch of rainbow trout , largemouth bass and striped bass , also while fishing from shore in the South Cove . Teo Jr . Pimentel also experienced success on trout when he landed five beautiful holdover rainbows in the South Cove on August 16 while soaking PowerBait . Peninsula Cove , Cowboy Cove , and Howden Cove are good spots for anglers in rental boats to catch rainbows while trolling with
