  • Stocking: The lake was last stocked with 1,500 lbs. of trout from Wright's Rainbows the week of March 9th. Stay tuned for information about upcoming catfish stocking. 
  • New Dock Installation: Assembly of the new dock begins this week! During the new dock installation boat rentals and launches may be limited at certain times. We will update customers with plenty of advance notice of any boat rental and launching closures. The new dock will be installed and ready for use by the end of July!

  • What's the catch? The T-dock was still producing Bass and Bluegill this weekend. Bluegill were biting on nightcrawlers (try pinching them in half) and meal worms. Anglers were using shiners to catch Bass. Bluegill were being reeled in all over the lake this weekend...Hermit Cove, Half Moon Cove, and Sentry Point. Catfish were biting on mackerel and Mack Baits in Half Moon and Siesta Coves.
