Trout fishing was tough this past week, with a slightly over 1 fish per rod average reported. Trollers used lead core to 3 colors along with needle fish and rapalas to get the 'bows. The best shore locations continued to be E point and Harveys. Inflated nightcrawlers and power bait the beat offerings. All other species were slow but hopefully a slight water temperature change should improve the bite.

Rate the action based over the past week:
Bass ==> Fair ==> Average Size: 1.5 lbs.
Bluegill ==> Poor
Carp ==> Poor
Catfish ==> Poor
Crappie ==> Fair
Redear --> Poor
Trout ==> Fair ==> Average Size: 1.75 lbs.

Harveys', E-point, and Mohawk have been the best locations for shore angling with Powerbait, 'crawlers, and Gulp salmon eggs. Bass fishing showed a lot...... Read More
