Catfish and Bass have been doing really well and Trout are being caught here and there but in deeper water. Crappie and Bluegill have been great on jigs and red worms near the boat launch area. Catfish have been biting on Chicken Liver and Anchovies the most, while the Bass seem to be hitting on Sinko's in a Wacky rig or using Spinners and swimbaits. Trolling has been working for trout but they are about 20 to 25 feet deep.
