The trout bite has been off and on all around the lake since the last plant. Trout Cove produced a fair number of fish. The trout are staying deep, so fish off the bottom. Those using night crawlers and rainbow Power Bait are scoring best.

The bass bite was slow this week. A few fish were caught and released this week. Kyle Malmstrom of Carlsbad released this nice 9-pound bass on Sunday (see photo). The lake level is back to normal and will drop towards the end of the week, so changes are on the way. We should see the water temp moving up with the warmer days forecasted.

A few bluegill were taken this week. They have not really grouped up yet. This will happen as the lake warms. Small baits are working best. Try the area by the cattails.

Catfish are starting to hit here and there on mackerel. Try the Buoy line or Catfish Cove for best results. Night fishing will start on June 29 and will run on Fridays and Saturdays only this year. NO MORE THURSDAY NIGHTS!!!!!

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.
