The wind has been blowing the last couple days, but anglers are battling through it scoring trout with minijigs, Powerbait, GULP! Pinched Crawlers and spinners. From the boat, anglers trolling leadcore followed by Flicker shad, Tasmanian Devils and Needlefish. A few crappie bycatch were reported this week from anglers fishing for derby trout. The Crappie seem to be getting more active, but not wide open. Crappie have been found in 10 to 20-feet of water around structure with minijigs and live minnows. The Bass bite is fair and can be found off main and secondary lake points. Bass have been coming on big worms, deep diving crankbaits, trout imitation swimbaits, and crawdad imitation baits. The catfish action has improved with whiskerfish coming on live minnows, triple S dip bait, cutbait and shrimp.
