The trout are biting on a mix of baits after our most recent stock of 3,000 pounds. Mini jigs seem to be more popular but anglers are also catching fish on mouse tails and flies. Popular spots include the west side of Lake 3 and the southwest corner of Lake 4. Anglers are still reporting a mix of lightning and rainbow trout being caught out of Lake 6. Popular spots on Lake 6 include the southwest corner and the northeast corner of the Lake. Remember Lake 6 is for registered campers only so be sure to book your site now! Our next stock of trout is scheduled for February 9. Nathan caught these rainbows out of Lake 3 on a yellow mini jig.
