Quoting several bass fishermen this past week, the bass "fishing was phenomenal!" Several fishermen reported catching up to 27 nice size bass all in one day. Most of the fish are averaging around the 3 lbs mark, but many in the 5-6 lbs range are showing up as well. Dark plastics fished along the bottom are still producing the most and the biggest fish. East End and the South Shore are the hot spots for the bass, and those walking the shore are finding some decent luck along the shore from Marina Point to Social Security Point. I must take this chance to thank all of those fishermen who are practicing catch and release, most of those I talked to have released their fish for future generations.

Due to unforeseen issues the Lakes did not receive the Seasons last Trout stock. 12,000 lbs. of Trout have been stocked into the Lakes since November including 70 tagged Trout. 11 tagged Trout have not been accounted for and could still be swimming in the Lakes. The Trout bite remains strong in the AM hours before the day heats up. Water temp is a chilly 59 degrees.

Lots of Limits! Fishing was very good this week, if you don't want big fish. 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 10 days as spawning approaches. The catfish bite is great near Boulder Bay. The bluegill bite is slow. The water temperature is at 57 degrees.
