Despite several storms moving through the southland this week, anglers managed to get in some great fishing. Trout bite has been excellent this week with anglers bagging lots of limits and big rainbows. Power bait ( especially chartruse, sherbert, spring green and rainbow), night crawlers, jigs, lures and senkos, all caught limits. Hot spots included the eastern logged shore and the western shore from the bridge to the pump house as well as the western and northern shores of lake 3.
