Anglers used everything in their tackle boxes to catch fish trout this week. Those anglers who worked their tackle and baits ( especially orange, lemon twist and rainbow Power Bait, lures and jigs), reeled in nice size trout that were near or over two pounds. Hot spots included the eastern logged shore and western shore from the bridge to the pump house of lake 3 and the northern shore of lake 2. Catfish bite continues to be strong on Power Bait, shrimp and night crawlers. Hot spots for catfish unclude the western shore of lake 3 from the drain to the pump house and the eastern, western and northern shores of lake 2. Bass are active and hitting spinner bait, senkos and tubes on the western and northern shore of lake 3 as well as the eastern, southern and northern shore of lake 2. Bluegill bite is very good with anglers using meal worms and jigs to catch nice size fish --( most are near one pound or over). Hot spots for bluegill include the northern shore of lake 3 and the south eastern shores of lake 2 near the wall.
