Trout plants continue with 1200 pounds released last Thursday. The lake has risen to within about 6’ from spilling with heavy inflows from Jackson Creek. Trout are being caught in the shallows casting Kastmasters, green trout dough baits or Power Eggs. Trollers are beginning to get into the act with more rainbows including some larger fish in excess of 5 pounds taken on Rapalas. The Tackle Box Cafe will be open on Christmas Eve, but they will be closed on Christmas Day. The annual Tagged Trout Derby will continue until March 19, 2017.
