Striped Bass: The usual tactics are still the most productive. Use chicken liver/ anchovies at the inlet or dam area. Another effective method would be trolling a hard bait throughout the lake, especially main lake. The water level is super low.

Bluegill: Mini jigs tipped with a meal worm or cricket are usually the most productive.

Catfish: use chicken liver, anchovies, mackerel or nightcrawlers on the bottom throughout the lake but especially near Ramp 2 or the inlet area. Catfishing is relatively slow lately.

Largemouth Bass: Ika’s and ned rigs have continued to be very effective the last few days. Bass have definitely begun to move up shallow.

Trout: Last stock on was on 2/8/22. Come out as soon as possible after the stock and throw your favorite mini jigs or color powerbait.

Carp: No action to be reported!
