Trout fishing remained strong this past week. The fish are hanging deep in 67 to 68 degree water, from 18 to 28 feet. Oxygen levels are good top to bottom, but the trout are seeking the cooler deeper water in the western third of the lake. Either leadcore at almost 6 colors or a downrigger set in that range are a must for anglers that are trolling. Needlefish and just about any other spoon type lure in a nickel finish is your best bet. Bait anglers need to be slip bobbing at the same depths in order to get bit. Unless there is cloud cover, it is an early and late bite that is producing fresh stockers in the one pound range with a few holdovers up to two and a half pounds mixed in.

Bass and panfish anglers are picking up a few fish. Again it is and early and late bite, around docks and weed beds. Spinners for the bass and minijigs for the panfish are getting the most fish. Nocturnal anglers are still finding big catfish off the sandy bottom on stinkbaits, shrimp or mackerel.
