Bass fishing was tough with most fish retreating to 25' or more around Arrowhead Island or the narrows. Jigs and blades accounted for the majority of the largies. Smallmouth have shut down almost completely and only a handful were reported. A few decent crappie catches were made as well; drifting worms and trolling CD3 Rapalas took slabs to 2 lbs.

Crappie fishing has been productive at times, and those trolling CD3 Rapalas in the narrows reported near limits, and slabs up to 2.5 lbs. This weeks trout plant......
