Rainbow trout are quick to bite on gold spinners and rainbow PowerBait at Willow Beach. Anglers are catching 3- to 5-pound trout from both shore and kayaks. Catfish are hanging around vegetation near shore. One angler reported reeling in an 8-pound catfish he caught on a chicken liver. Few reports have come from the main reservoir, likely due to the consistent winds. However, clear skies and temperatures in the 70s are in the forecast, and the largemouth bass bite is already picking up at Cottonwood Cove. Fish are chasing trout swimbaits and hiding in shadows near vegetation. On the east side of the lake, anglers are catching smallmouth bass biting in the area of Black Sheep Cove.
