Trout anglers spent the week picking away at the remaining trout. Luckily, the quality has been great with numerous trout to five pounds. Trout ate green garlic scented power bait, Get Bent Minijigs, and Pinched Crawlers. Trollers reported good quality fish while pulling wedding rings, needlefish, and Flicker Shad. The largemouth bite picked up last week with anglers reporting more activity near submerged brush and the cattails. Drop shot, Texas rigs, and Senkos all fooled bass with Green Pumpkin, and Ox Blood working the best. One angler reported landing a 7.5lb bass while casting a white spinnerbait parallel to weed lines. Catfish ate dip bait, chicken liver, and cut baits, and some crappie were reported by anglers using minijigs tipped with crappie nibbles or redworms.
