What's the catch? With our recent stocking, fishermen were pulling their limits of trout in Hermit Cove and Eagle Point this past weekend. Popular baits being used were rainbow powerbait, cheese powerbait, and hook-up bait with garlic scent. Our rangers recommend using half / quarter of a nightcrawler for trout as well. Bluegill were caught in Cloister Cove on green chartreuse atomic teasers. Catfish are still nibbling those delicious garlic nightcrawlers in Siesta Cove and the t-dock near the reeds.
Conditions: The water temperature is currently 59 degrees. Mornings have been cold on the water averaging a 38-40 degree wind chill, but the afternoons are warming up nicely. Helix Water District will begin drawing water towards the end of the month, so be aware of changing shorelines.
If you haven't visited us in the new year, our fishing and boating fees have changed. Please visit our website to review the new fees. We now offer military discounts on fishing permits for all active duty, guard, reserve, and veterans with proper military ID.
