Great winter fishing conditions continue to keep the trout bite active throughout the day. Anglers enjoyed excellent trout action on both lakes with Power Bait (especially salmon peach, orange, yellow and rainbow), night crawlers (with marshmallows or Power Bait ), jigs and lures ( smoke, orange, green jigs, jakes), to catch limits and big fish. Lots of limits went out with an over 3 trout per angler average. Hot spots included the eastern and western shores of lake 3 as well as the northern and eastern shores of lakes 2.
