Next trout stocking will be the Utah ???Hook ???Jaws' on Tuesday night Dec. 11.

Fishing this past week has been good. We had a few brave anglers catching their limit despite the rain. The water clarity is clearing up with the recent beautiful weather. The hot spots for the boats have been on the other side of the lake by three pipes, in the flats & by the diffuser at the dam. On shore the best spots have been by the launch ramp, & at the point. The best baits to use have been inflated night crawlers with garlic oil, rainbow power bait, GULP rainbow candy, salmon eggs & Lip Ripperz jigs in chartreuse color.

Big fish of the week was a 6.25lbs beautiful hook jaw male. No name was taken.

*Hot tip ??? use scent or attractant on every bait when the water is murky in color.

Fly Fishermen

The flats have been very productive using chart midge & black wooly bugs at about 8 ??? 9 ft depth.
