** IMPORTANT NOTE** There are currently no state fishing licenses available in Lake Morena so be sure you acquire one before you arrive.

Trout Just a few short months until the stockings begin again.

Bass The Bass are still being caught in the 1 to 2lb range through the middle of the lake and near the mouth of Cottonwood creek. All caught and released. Seiko's and silver plastics seem to work for the anglers.

Catfish The catfish have moved their collective populace from Pumphouse to Paradise cove. Popular baits included mackerel and night crawlers, chicken livers and, believe it or else, Powerbait. Deon Jackson brought his friend Dewey Brown, picturerd out to Paradise cove to limit themselves to a combined total 28 lbs 10 ozs with the largest at 7 lbs 2 ozs. Mackerel was the bait of choice. Ray Holden and William Purfoy fooled 28 lbs of the whiskers in Cabin cove.

Blue Gill Pumphouse Cove was the spot for the gills but other rocky areas were also working as well. Many were caught while combing the depths for other species. Youngsters were seen popping out some blue gill along Geezer cove.

Crappie The crappie bite has show up once again in small quantities for the patient. Trolling the middle was the tip this week.

Carp These fish are saving themselves for another time.
