Decent bass hitting off rocky points or in the shallow cove areas. Lake level holding at 62% with very thick weed line surrounding its edges. A few catfish nabbed with nightcrawlers, best one was only 4 pounds. Senkos and top water baits have been a trusty choice. I haven’t heard of a trout catch in a couple week, water may be too warm. A bunch of sightings for a baby and medium sized black bear.

Trout have really slowed down with the heat waves. Drop shot a roboworm is the best overall advice from many. ...... Read More
