Alpers Trout"?? were added to the Inventory. Catching a tagged trout will reward the angler with Motor Boat Rental and 4 fishing permits for(1) one day!!! Trolling is picking up with Rooster Tails and Panther Martins providing the best results. ?? The Crappie are making a strong showing around the docks and shorelines. Bullhead catfish are very aggressive??in seeking out?? your night crawler on the bottom.??
