TROUT BITE
Have you fished the T-dock? If you fished the T-dock this weekend, your chances of catching a trout were great! Anglers were catching Lightning and Sierra Bows fishing into the deep. Rainbow and Chartreuse PowerBait landed limits early on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Trout will continue to bite near the surface. The T-dock and shoreline fishing will be your best bet.

FISHING FOR BASS
The campground shoreline continues to be the spot for big bass. Bass are biting on any worm with a red flake or brush hogs, preferably in pearl white.

CATCHES OF THE WEEK
Rob Dimeglio reeled in this nice bass from the campground shoreline on Thursday morning. He ran out of his usual bait, Oxblood Redflake, and tried Morning Dawn Roboworm… it worked! Derek F caught his limit at the T-dock with PowerBait. The fish weighed in at 8.5 lbs. total. Mike and Cooper Mao caught a Lightning and 2 Sierra Bows using a combo of night crawler and PowerBait!

CAMPGROUND CORNER

Campers and visitors can enjoy fishing from the lake every day! Although there is no boating Monday-Thursday (except Holidays), campers and visitors may fish 1/3 of lake’s shoreline from the campground. Purchase your lake fishing permit at the kiosk beginning at 7:30 a.m. and fish until 5 p.m. Generally, Sentry Cove is good for bass fishing and trout can be caught off the point. Night crawlers are available for purchase at the campground kiosk.
