TROUT SEASON IS APPROACHING!!!    The water temperature is 67-68 degrees.
Water is going down and fall turnover conditions allow fish to go deeper, where most likely they will remain for winter.

Blue Gill: low action, try fishing mini jigs along reed lines throughout the lake. Crickets also work very well. Tipping a mini jig with a worm or cricket is also a good tactic.

Catfish: Medium action: cut bait, chicken liver and anchovies work… catfish like to bunch up in the fall/winter months. Also recommended are night crawlers fished on the bottom.

Striper: Medium action: small amount of boils early morning and sunset only. Shad is still being seen throughout the lake, especially in the east end.. The cut bait bite out towards the dam and inlet has been picking up although your best bet may be to catch shad and drop it back down.

Large Mouth: Low action: Some good action on top water lures this week. Jerk baits have been pretty productive as usual as well. If it seems slow try using a senko.

Trout: FIRST TROUT STOCKING WILL TAKE PLACE ON NOVEMBER 6TH.

Carp: Low action, big carp ready to catch, easy and fun. Use your favorite carp dough balls, along the banks or under heavy cover.
