Nights are down to the low forties with daytime temperatures in the mid 80's. Trout bite continues to improve with excellent action until 11am and good action until closing. Anglers used power bait ( especially bubblegum, grape, rainbow, spring green and chartreuse), night crawlers, jigs and lures to catch limits. Hot spots included the grassy point and eastern shore of lake 3 as well as the northern and eastern shores of lake 2. Bass continue to hit senkos with anglers reporting good action near the wall of lake 2 and the northern shore of lake 3.
