  • Stocking:  The next trout stocking of 1,500 lbs. is this week. To date, a total of 14,500 trout have been stocked in the lake. To view an updated stocking schedule, click HERE. Salmon Egg Powerbait is back in stock! Pick up a jar at the bait shop this weekend.
  • What's the catch? Trout, bass, and catfish were all biting on Saturday. The bite slowed down on Sunday. A 12 pound 10 oz. bass was caught in Shadow Cove by one of our regular bass fishermen. Another sizeable bass was reeled in on jerkbait (see pic below). All typical trout baits and lures were working this weekend; PowerBait, worms, mini jigs. Redears were biting in Half Moon Cove and Sentry Point. Wax worms and 'crawlers were doing the trick. No monster cats were caught this weekend, but the catfish were biting on mackerel and chicken livers. They seem to be hanging out on the south side of the lake from Siesta Cove to the Hermit buoy line.
