Trophy trout were stocked into Empire Lakes and Powers Pond last week. Stocking of trophy trout into Bradley Lake is scheduled for this week. Legal size trout were stocked last week into Empire Lakes, Tenmile Lakes, Mingus Park Pond, and Powers Pond. Fishing in the area lakes for trout has been ok with anglers having the best success using small spinners, spoons, or garlic flavored Powerbait. The daily trout bag limit in these lakes is five trout per day with only one trout over 20 inches.

Largemouth bass fishing is picking up with the warmer days. This time of the year bass will be found in shallow water typically near a weedline or structure. Plastic worms, shallow crankbaits, and spinner baits are good to use for bass.
