Overall the fishing has slowed down. The heat has kept the anglers to a bare minimum and running for the AC.

Trout: The coves are harboring a few hold out trout. Jim Rice from Campo was one of the few to pull in these hardy souls. He reports two 2 lb plus and two of the smaller DFG variety. But still...August?

Bass: The Bass are being caught in the 2 lb range. All caught and released. Linda Peterson from the Alpine Sun Monthly told of 1 bass, 2 cats, and 1 blue gill.

Catfish: The catfish have been the hot catch lately. Gary Cramer, pictured of Campo hoisted and solid 19 lb 12 oz stringer with largest a 6 lb 8 oz whisker. The North end of the lake near the mouth of cotton wood creek has been popular this week.

Blue Gill: The Gills are only coming in two and three at a time.

Crappie: The crappie bite has slowed to zip.

Carp: These fish are saving themselves for another time.
