Next Stock: March 15, 2007 ??? 1200 pounds of Trout
Water Temperature: 60??
Water Level: Low and dropping quickly

The trout were biting best in the area between Piers 3 and 4 of the lake. The Buoy Line has been a fair area on the lake for trout. Trout Cove produced a few fish. Those using Power Worms and rainbow Power Bait are scoring best. The lake will next be stocking 1200 pounds of trout on Thursday, March 15. The recent drop in water level is pushing the trout into the center of the lake.

The bass bite has taken a step back. The bass fishing pressure was up and down this week. The weather was fantastic and will likely be perfect this week. The males were just starting to look for areas to set up house, when the water level dropped radically. The lake will continue to drop until Thursday at the earliest. The males have headed back out to deeper water and are in a holding mode until the water level becomes more consistent.

We have noticed of late that some of the anglers are snagging bait fish. THIS IS ILLEGAL!!! If you wish to use the live bait from this lake, you are only allowed to dip net them. Those observed snagging bait fish will be ejected from the lake for 72 hours and may have there gear confiscated. The practice of snagging bait fish is a violation of the Fish and Game Code.

No catfish were reported this week. I have seen a number of nice cats
cruising the shallows.
