Finally getting winter weather!  Trout are shallow in the top few feet of water and close to shore, looking for anything being washed in to eat. PowerBait and Eggs, Grubs, and Kastmasters have been working well for fisherman.  Thus far we have stocked 1,900lbs this month with many more plants to come.  We will see how much the lake will come up with all this rain!  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

We have stocked 4,600lbs so far in the month of December.  Grubs, Rapalas, Power Bait and Eggs have been doing best lately.  We got our first $100 tagged fish come in last week, and we added another in the lake to be caught!  We have gotten reports of good fishing from the campground in the Carson arm and around the overflow point.  Boaters have been doing very well the past week hitting up the back of the lake.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

Even more Catfish are being brought in from the Dock and Dam area, anchovies are still working great!  Trolling broken back Rapalas at about 10-12ft deep is bringing in trout for some anglers.  If trolling isn’t doing the trick at the time try going to the back of the lake in Mountain Springs or Jackson Creek and Baitfish the shore line with Garlic scented Power Bait or Power Eggs.  Many reports of Trout from shore fisherman at depths of 6-7ft deep.  Remember to fish shallow, Trout look up for their food towards the surface.  If you go too deep they more than likely wont see it.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

Unusually warm and sunny weather for this time of year is making the Trout fishing hit or miss it seems.  Some people are doing very well, while others are having a tough time.  The back side of the campground in the Carson Arm has been a good spot for shore fisherman in the last week.  Reports from bank and fisherman bait fishing from boats are that the Trout are about 6-7ft deep. Best advise for fishing in this crazy weather is don’t stay in one spot, keep moving around until you find where they are.  Also, during mid day when its warm, look for shade or fish a little deeper, the Trout are looking to stay cool.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

We stocked a total of 4,750lbs in the month of November including 100 tagged fish at the start of our derby.  Thus far in the few days of this month we have already stocked 900lbs, with plenty more plants to come!  It seems the key to bank fishing lately is Power Bait, Power Bait, Power Bait!  The Dock has been putting out a lot of Trout and Catfish as well.  Anchovies are knocking out Catfish left and right.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

Whopper! Almost 9lbs!

2 Tagged Trout!

We came up 2ft in the last storm and are currently 24ft from full.  Trout are shallow between 5-10ft deep and still relatively close to shore.  Fishing off the points has proven best for bank fisherman.  Trolling has picked up and as usual the Fire Tiger broken back Rapala is a winner.  Lots of Blue Gill are still being caught as well.  Our Tagged Trout Derby starts Friday!  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

We are continuing to stock 250lbs daily Monday through Friday.  Fish are shallow most being caught in the top 10ft and relatively close to shore.  White Power eggs are still working the best.  Crappie jigs have been doing well too.  From shore the points have been producing well, and from boat Jackson Creek has the most feedback from fisherman.  We have our annual Tagged Trout Derby starting the Friday after Thanksgiving.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

Trout season is upon us!!  We started stocking a couple weeks ago on 10/20/17.  Lake level is currently 26ft from full and surface temp is at 59 deg.  The launch ramp is still pavement but single lane.   We are currently stocking from our trout farm that re-opened in April of this year, most trout are a 2lb average.  We expect to continue stocking everyday M-F through the end of November if not longer!!, then will start planting every couple weeks.  Early reports for the season from fisherman are that the Trout are basically anywhere between 10-20ft.  White Power bait and Eggs seem to be doing the trick for the time.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook for more catches and details!

We are currently 24ft from full, and the surface temp is 72 degrees. The launch ramp is fully usable but down to one lane. We are still waiting for the surface temp to drop and hopefully start planting in the next few weeks. Top water Bass fishing has been hot right now!! Look for shad boils in the main Lake and in the back of coves. Zara Spook and Zara Puppy are killing it. Evening fishing has been best.
