The catfish bite has remained consistent with many reports of fish being caught on meal worms and shrimp. Popular spots include the west side of Lake 3 near the point and the southeast corner of Lake 2. The bass have been hitting on topwater frogs and wacky rigged senkos. Popular spots include the east shore of Lake 5 and the north shore of Lake 1. Our next scheduled stock will take place on Monday, June 22. Lakes 2 and 3 were stocked today, 6/15/20, with 500 pounds of catfish each.
