TROUT BITE
The hot spot for trout was in Hermit Cove this past week. A few anglers caught their limit with sizes between 1-6 pounds. PowerBait and mini jigs are still doing the trick! Another stocking of trout is this week! 200 lbs. of trophy trout (3-12 lbs.) and 1800 lbs. of catchable trout (1-2 lbs.) will be added to our 4500 lbs. of trout stocked earlier this season!

BASS BITE
The water level is almost nearing capacity making bass fishing best from boats.

CATFISH AND PANFISH
