Our last trout stocking was on 01/05/2022. We had 1,400 lbs. planted at the main launch ramp and are awaiting our next one. The brown debris has started to slowly creep back out to the middle of the lake and we’re hoping the winds don’t blow it back our way. So far so good this week, and the only thing to watch out for lately is the high winds.

Trout fishing has slowed down the past few days, and anglers are having luck with Power-bait, Trout mini jigs, and spoons. Most fish have been caught around the main launch ramp.

The largemouth and smallmouth bite remains tough but has been decent if you have the proper graphs and can target them schooling up deeper. Most fish have been coming off a nightcrawler or plastic worm in about 10-30 feet of water has been working. Ned rigs, Carolina-rigs, and neko rigs have been working best for finesse fishing. You can also manage a few on a deep diving crank or jig early morning, or even a small paddle tail swimbait.

The stripers are biting in good numbers with a lot of small ones in the mix. Every now and then a better one will bite though. Soaking sardines, anchovies, and lug worms have been working best around 30-50 feet of water. Even the shore has been producing limits for a lot of anglers.

The trout swimbaits have also been getting decent action these past couple of months since the stockings started. Huddlestons, punkers/ topwater, and glides have been getting the most action but has slowed down the past couple weeks. A lot of these catches have been coming from both boat and shore. Flies and spoons on the troll also have been seeing some action.

The Catfish bite is still going well, mainly off anchovies, chicken liver, and mackerel. The Dam has been the best spot for the catfish as of late.

Bluegill and Crappie remains a tough bite, and the lower lagoon has been a better spot to target these species.
