Trout Bite
It’s pretty hot out here but people are still catching
trout. Early morning seems to be the best with fisherman
using powerbait in the south cove. Also the anglers coming
into the park at 6:30 PM and staying until closing have been
catching good numbers of fish as well. For the nighttime
bite the east cove has been producing fish as well.
Bass Bite
Still getting reports of fisherman catching good numbers of
bass using plastics either dropshoting or casting senkos.
For the most part the fish are on the small side (10-14
inches) and you can get into a good number of fish if you
bring a backpack and walk the reservoir. I have been
getting reports of some anglers getting fish on the top
water bite throwing mainly a lot of frog baits.
Catfish Bite
The people targeting cats have been doing well in the south
and east cove using worms or chicken livers. We have seen
some nice fish this week in the 8-10lb range with most of
them being caught in the evening. The beginning of this
week we had a catfish plant from Bundy’s of 1250lbs of 2-3lb
channel cats. I have been seeing most of the catfish caught
by anglers coming in the evening.
Sunfish Bite
Now that the water has warmed up a good deal we are seeing
good numbers of bluegill around the docks. There are a lot
of small ones though.
Perch Bite
Still haven’t had too many reports of perch being caught.
Try fish the edge of the submergent vegetation with a 1/2 to
a 1/3 of nightcrawler.
