The trout bite has slowed to just an average bite, but should pick up with this week’s infusion of new fish. Top baits include mice-tails, mini-jigs, and inflated nightcrawlers.

The crappie are increasingly active and are being caught from shore and boats alike. Crappie bite mini-jigs and live golden shiners.

Largemouth bass can be found lingering around the reed lines or lurking near structure. They respond well to crawdads or dark colored plastics.

Catfish can be caught throughout the lake, but are most active at either end. Stop by the ranger station for a dough-bait recipe that works well for both catfish and carp.

The carp have begun to spawn and can be heard, as well as seen thrashing around amongst the reeds and in shallow water
