It was a good week for trout fishing particularly on Wednesday. We are planting again this Wednesday so the fishing should only get better as long as the rains are not too heavy. Big fish of the week belonged to Jacob Lopez of Escondido who caught a 9.60# trout on a hook-up mini-jig in Boat Dock Cove. Other Notable fish included James Kent’s 9.10#, Breylon Hearn’s 8.10# and Roy Duncan’s 5.80# trout. Powerbait or powerworms (yellow& orange) and inflated nightcrawlers are all doing well.

Largemouth bass are still mostly deep, but the occasional male can be found moving in to the shallows. Dark colored plastics, swimbaits, and trout plugs are all solid options.

Crappie are being caught by boaters trolling for them. Crappie respond best to golden shiners or mini jigs.

Catfish can be found throughout the lake and favor cut-mackerel or chicken liver.
