Trout Fishing : Fishing for trout is at Sandy Point and the Main Rec I have also seen a lot of Anglers fishing at the Oaks and the Launch since we started planting down there Fish power-bait or night crawlers off the bottom. Trolling has been slow lately.

Catfishing : Fishing for catfish is best by the boat launch. There is a lot of catfish that seem to be hungry. Many catfish are being caught by trout fishermen. To increase chance of ctaching a catfish use stinky bait like chicken livers or anchovies.

Bass Fishing : The bite is still on for bass fishermen. Top spots are the Rock wall, Sather Canyon and near the Main Rec. Throw shad colored spinner baits or drop shot worms.
