Trout: The trout are still biting. Use power bait or night crawlers. Mike McLarney from Lake Morena villiage caught a two pound trout.

Bass: Brian Fansher from Lake Morena village caught a whopping 6 pound 14 ounce bass at the North Shore using crank. A fair amount of bass have been caught this week.

Catfish: A lot of catfish have been caught this week. Two and five pound whiskers are being caught in most nooks and crannies of the lake. Rob Swigart, pictured above caught two cats using chicken liver. His largest was two pounds and eight ounces caught at Geezer cove.

Blue Gill: The bluegill anglers did well this week but as you've read they were generally caught inadvertently while casting for the other species in the lake.

Crappie: The slow-trollers through the middle of the lake have come up with a few crappie. Paying attention to your line will help keep it from fouling your propeller.

Carp: These fish continue to surprise the folks rigged for cats or bass with their amazing strength and tenacity. And they know the way to brush. Great fun.
