    Report: fished lower Sac Arm Sept 30 and Pit Arm Sept. 31. Temps are dropping and the shad bite is coming on. Picked up only spots up to 1.5 max, but lots of 'em. Drop shot and S & P grubs, with a few early on top water. Bigger ones out to 15 ft. deep on steep rock slopes and points

    Tips: drag it slow and go light as possible. Secondary ramp at Jones Valley worked fine. Sugarloaf and Bridge Bay are your only other options.

    Report: Went up for the week and had a great time. Caught fish almost everyday. Getting cold at night, so the early morning bite was pretty slow for me. The afternoon seemed to be mt best times. Picked up a lot of 2 to 3 lb spots mostly and a few smallmouth off of rocks. Most fish came on cranks, got some on a drop shot with a shad imitation.
    City: FERNLEY,NV

    Tips: Cranking working best for us. Mostly shad pattern.
    Small swim baits also. Great time to be at the lake, very little boat traffic right now & still warm days.

    Report: Bridge Bay still open but have a 15 dollar charge to launch there! I went to centimudi today and while I couldnt launch off the ramp you can drive to the side and go to the old paved road and launch with ease. Rainbows and Largemouth were both bitting heavy today about 50-80 ft down it was a great day!
    City: Anderson

    Tips: If you dont have a down rigger I advise a Pink Lady to dive your lures!
