ALL LIVE BAIT FISH AND CRAYFISH ARE PROHIBITED!
-
Trout - Considering all the crappie and bass being caught lately, the anglers are still plucking out the rainbows. Jim Hill from Campo clobbered his limit in an afternoon bite. He’s still using shorty Rapalas. Tom Bossard of Boulevard went to a few of his spots and fooled two 5lb plus trout.
-
Carp - None reported this week but evidence of the discarded were found about the lake and fish were cleaning house.
-
Bass - Bass season is here! All voice reports were of the catch and release nature. Aanyone going for the bass came out happy. Most action was around the tulles near the shore. Horseshoe Cove was also a popular spot.
-
Blue Gill - The Gills are popping up all around the shoreline using small hooks and large meal worms.
-
Crappie - This is the best crappie catch in years. Several holes have been productive, one being either side of the ‘dip’ near the boat dock. Josh Meyer epitomized this season with a basket plum full weighing 25.8lbs (without the basket).
-
Catfish - Jim Hill was having a blast as he tied into his limit of big cats near the shore. Two were too big for his net and one flew into the brush breaking his line. He resorted to a 30lb and 65lb braided line where he was able to collect over 30 lbs of the whiskers along with one or two bushes in the skirmish.
Boat Launch conditions: Boat launching is open for private boats. The speed limit is 10mph. Before launch, all boats are subject to quagga inspection. If you do not pass inspection you will not be able to launch so please ensure that all boats are clean and dry before entering the park.
