Access to the lake is open, but the campground is closed for the winter. PowerBait, corn, and worms are a good approach for trout. Small (1/8- to 1/12-ounce) inline spinners and spoons in gold, silver, and black are good lure choices. Fly anglers might consider throwing large (#12 or #10) dark-colored (black, brown, purple, wine, or olive) bead-headed Wooly Buggers or Simi-Seal Leeches. Crayfish patterns are also a good bet. Only boats with a single electric motor are allowed on Dogtown Lake. No gas-powered motors. Repairs to the boat launch are completed and launching a boat is now possible. However, ice has been present on the edges of the lake until around noon recently. The limit is 2 bass minimum size 13 inches, the limit is 4 trout. Fall is a good time to target brown trout. The bite has been slow, but anglers are having success catching rainbow and brown trout. Fish are most active during the afternoon.
