  • Stocking: The lake was stocked with 2000 lbs. of trout last week. We will stock another 1500 lbs. of trout the week of February 24th. 
  • New Moon Fishing: Join us on the darkest night of the month for night fishing! Catch the trout bite at dusk or cast for catfish roaming at night.The lake will be open 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Saturday, February 22nd. Full sized lanterns required after 5:00 p.m. 
  • What's the catch? It was a good weekend for bass. Fishermen reported the bass biting in Sentry, Siesta, and Half Moon Coves using swimbait and drop shot. The trout were being uncooperative this weekend, perhaps because of the warmer weather, but there were some caught at Eagle Point/Cove. Inflated nightcrawlers and salmon peach powerbait were the baits of choice. Cloister Cove was a good location to catch bluegill. NIghtcrawlers seemed to be working for bluegill. The catfish were biting in Eagle Cove.       
  • Conditions: The water temperature is currently 61 degrees. For an up-to-date weather forecast in Lakeside click HERE.
  • Just a reminder, dogs are only permitted on Bass Road leading to the campground,  in the campground, and the trails from the campground. They are not permitted on the lake side, near the shoreline, or in the water. Please keep them on a 6 foot leash and pick up after your pooch. Much appreciation!   
  • We now offer military discounts on fishing permits and boat fees for all active duty, guard, reserve, and veterans with proper military ID. Thank you for your service!
