Both lakes are looking good this week after our crew applied biological controls on the mat. We'll continue to maintenance the lakes throughout the summer to keep them in top condition for our anglers. Trout action was very good on both lakes with anglers using Power Bait (especially salmon peach, spring green and rainbow) night crawlers, jigs and lures to catch limits. Most trout were near or over 2 pounds. Hot spots included the eastern shore, grassy point and the western shore near the pump house of lake 3 as well the northern and eastern shores of lake 2. Anglers are reporting good bass action on both lakes on senkos and drop shot. Hot spots include the northern shore of lake 3 and the the southeastern shore of lake 2 near the wall. Bluegill are active and hitting meal worms and small jigs. Hot spots include the northern shore near the pump house of lake 3 as well as the eastern shore near the wall of lake 2. Anglers enjoyed good catfish action on both lakes using night crawlers, shrimp and mackerel. Most catfish are near or over 2 pounds. Hot spots include the eastern and southern shores of lake 2 as well as the western shore from the pump house to the eastern shore of lake 3.
