Trout fishing excellent with fish being caught all over the lake. A plant on the 5th improved the already good trout bile. Trolling accounting for most of the 'bows, but bank anglers reported good action as well. Bass fishing has been on a day to day basis. Both large mouth and small mouth bass taking spoons, crank baits. Small plastics rigged either drop shot or split shot also working. Catfish slowing down with only a handful reported this week. Blue gill and Crappie slow but one angler reported 20 red ear fishing in an unknown location. There were no carp reported this week. Water temperature is 65.5.
