 Great Fishing! Fishing was very good this week. Many quick limits of
trout were taken in both boats and on the shoreline. The best spots were
on the other side of the Lake, and near Jump Off Point. The bass bite
is mostly small ones, the bite should pick up in about 2 weeks as
spawning approaches. The catfish bite was great near Boulder Bay. The
bluegill bite is slow. The water temperature is at 57 degrees.
