Fishing this past week has been decent for most anglers that were bale to get out there. There are still trout leftover from the last trout plant we had with the kids’ event. You are still able to nab yourself a trout or two, but they are more spread out now instead of being concentrated in the marina. Nightcrawler and power-bait has been working best, with a few trout jigs workings as well. There have been a few swimbait fish caught recently but not too many to report.

The stripers have mainly been hitting on sardines, anchovies, lug/blood worms, and night crawlers. There have been a few sightings of boils early in the morning and there have been sightings of small bait fry in the shallows.

Largemouth and smallmouth have been biting for most anglers recently but has definitly been tough to get good numbers for a good majority of folks. A lot of males have been cruising the shallows with the bigger female hanging off a little deeper at times. Many different soft plastics have been working, with the good old night crawlers also doing the trick. Robo worms, senkos, reapers, and ned rigs are just a few examples of baits that have been working out there.

The bluegill and crappie bite has recently started to gain some speed with an angler over the weekend nabbing 30 plus bluegills out of the upper lake.

The catfish still are biting on chicken liver, mackerel and anchovies and will only continue to puck up as the water temperature increases.
