Trolling was good between the Main Rec and the launch on the right hand side using about Y2 ounce weight and letting your line out about 75ft.

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 catching a catfish use stinky bait like chicken livers or anchovies.
