Srr/per: High action for Striper with some decent sizes! Some are getting ready to spawn. Swimbaits and cut baits have still been working the best! The Inlet and the middle of the lake have been the spots to hit! Some Anglers have been using anchovies, sardines, and chicken liver producing some nice sizes up to 3-6 pounds.

Large Mouth: Slow action for Large Mouth this past week! The colder days & the rain are making them go deep! Swimbaits have been working best! Must have lost of patience to catch these beauties! Also try using night crawlers, drop shots and jigs. They should pick back up after the cold rainy days.

7rout• Next Stock of Trout will be on February 22nd 2017, 600lbs! Launch Ramp 2 is your best bet for catching Trout!.. Power bait, Salmon or Rainbow color is still the best way to go on these beauties. You can find Power bait at the local Skinner Camp Store.
