Trout fishing has still been decent as of lately, but we are hoping for another plant soon. Kasmasters, Powerbait, and mice tails have been working best. The largemouth have started to spawn and have bene easier to target. Most angler shave been catching fish on plastics and nightcrawlers. Some reaction baits are also working first thing in the morning and late in the evening.

Smallmouth are also biting good as well just a little deeper. Bluegill and crappie also are beginning to become more active with wax/meal worms working best.

The striper bite is still slow with only a few reports of fish caught on the troll and off nightcrawlers. A few swimbait fish have been caught recently as well. The catfish are defining starting to bite better, mainly off mackerel and anchovies.
