We just had another stock last week on Monday and are hoping for another one. The trout bite is best when you can come within a few day so the plant but are still biting daily. Powerbait and garlic night crawlers have been the go-to bait. Sierra slammers, rooster tails and kastmansters can also work. The swimbait bite has been a little on the slow side and of late, but there has been more action lately and angler shave been having come luck throwing a top water or glide bait.

The largemouth and smallmouth bite has stayed steady. There has been more fish seen up shallow and anglers have been having productive days. Plastics and night crawlers have been working best for most anglers on the drop shot and Carolina-rig. A few different types of lures have been working well. Jigs, lipless cranks, and umbrella rigs have been working.

The striper have been biting down deep off night crawlers and lug worms. Flies and hair jigs on the troll with lead core line has bene a good producer lately too.

The bluegill and crappie are biting, but down deep off small jigs and wax/meal worms.

The catfish bite has improved slightly with the best bait being mackerel or anchovies.
