Dixon Lake Trout season will officially open November 7, with 4500
pounds of Rainbow Trout. The trout will be coming from the Chaulk
Mound Trout Ranch. The hatchery is located in Bridgeport, Nebraska. So
start dusting off those trout rods and put on some fresh line. Light line is
highly recommended in the 2 to 4-pound range with 18 to 24-inch leader if
using heavier line. Best choices of baits would be Rainbow color Power
bait, Kastmaster or Thomas Buoyant lures and the good ol' night crawler
as a standby.

The bass action has slowed down this past week. Bass anglers are having
success with plastics from the Boat Dock Cove and Whisker Bay areas
with fish up to 5 pounds.

Since night fishing has come and gone, the best chances for the cats are
early mornings and late evening hours. Try the deeper portion of the lake
and at the Buoy line. The best baits have been cut mackerel and shrimp.
The cats have been in the 1 to 2-pound range with some larger fish in the 2
to 4-pound range thrown into the mix. The LAST STOCK of the season
was planted on August 28, with 2000 pounds of catfish.

Due to construction of a new ramp, fishing Pier #1 will remain closed
until further notice.
