GENERAL CONDITIONS

The lake is FULL! The rain this past couple days has muddied up the lake quite a bit. We are expecting a few nice days this upcoming week, hopefully water clarity will get better. Our current water level is at 104%. Overall fishing has been slow. Our last trout plant was the first week of March with 1000 pounds added to the lake. Water temperature remains in the 50’s and water clarity is about less than 1 foot of visibility.

All of our boats are half off Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays, including Patio Boats!!

CATFISH

No reports of catfish were reported getting caught this past week. When fishing for catfish, the best bait to use is either chicken liver or mackerel. Make sure to cut 2” inch chunk of mackerel and putting it on a size 1 or 2 hook and half ounce weight works best. A simple trick to use when using this bait is wrapping magic thread around the bait to ensure that it doesn’t fly off when casting. Typical hotspot for catfishing is fishing near the Island and back by Raccoon Point.

TROUT

Overall trout fishing has been slow. Both Bait fishing and trolling has been slow due to the water clarity. Weather forecast for this upcoming week looks promising with a no rain. Hopefully by this weekend the muddy lake will begin to settle. Water temperature remains in the 50’s and visibility is about less than a foot.

BASS

Bass fishing had a slow week. No bass were caught. Please practice catch and release for bass, as they are not stocked into the lake and their population depends on you!
