Trout are starting to bite again and are being caught from the shoreline near the Main Rec area and trolling near the Dam. Powerbait is the best bait for the trout with Chartreuse being the best color. If you are trolling the Broken-Back Fire-Tiger. 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. Crappie and Bluegill have been great out near the boat launch area using Jigs and redworms.
