This past weekend was outrageous! Fishing was excellent! Anglers landed a ton of beautiful Emerald trout after this past Tuesday's stocking. We finally had a beautiful weekend after these rains and finally got a beautiful load of Emerald trout. The best bait to use have been night crawlers inflated with garlic oil, salmon eggs, garlic power bait, pink bubble gum and chartreuse power worms. The best places to fish from the shore have been the point & the flats by the launch ramp. Fishing from the boats has been the best with most anglers getting their limits. The best fishing spots from the boats has been the bubble hole in front of the dock, three pipes and the flats by the small island.

One lucky angler spent 30 min hauling in 16 lbs carp by the creek inlet and the fish is thanking his lucky fish stars he was released! No carp soup!

Fly Fishermen
For the fly fishermen, the back side of the island in the flats and by three pipes has been the best spots. The best baits to use have been the olive, black and silver midge. Also try a black woolly buggars later in the day.
