Well it’s monday and after a very rainy saturday and sunday the lake level has come up about an inch or two. We really need some good downpours to get the level up. As for fishing the trout are still coming in. About 2 to 3 fish per angler is the norm right now so thats not to bad. Drift night crawlers, split shot or bobbbers are working. Casting rapalas or flicker shad, or kastmasters in the rainbow or brown trout patterns. Chrome and blue kastmasters are working also. The weather will be warming up as the week progresses up into the 70’s.

Bass are still being caught on rapalas and kastmasters also. As for catfish, they still refuse to stop biting. Crappie are being caught up on E point in the grass.

Tidbits: The way they count fish is to lay in the stream and count as the fish swim past, however this causes the fish to turn back and swin away, thus creating a very inaccurate account.
