Trout season will run through the end of April. Follow our Instagram feed for the most updated info regarding trout stocking

What’s the Catch? The rainy weather brings the bass out and last weekend was no exception! The barometric pressure drops and the bass come out to feed. This coupled with low visibility makes the chances of a bite more likely if you’re willing to endure a few raindrops. The bass were biting all over the lake. Most bites were by shore, but dockhands saw a 13+ pounder pulled by boat and released shortly after. We heard they were biting on spinners, jerk baits, and cranks. Boats were limiting early on trout. Rangers are recommending nightcrawlers and aniseed PowerBait this time of year for trout. No reports of panfish or catfish this weekend.
