Species
Largemouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureRip RapFish were found in 15 to 25 foot of water. Pitching a drop shot on the edge of larger chunk rock was a key factor. Fish would also eat a jig on bottom but did not prefer a ton of action. A slow drag and a trailer with subtle kick was the most effective.

Fish were tucked under laydowns along the bank. If the trees had vegetation and bluegill in the area they would hold more then one fish.

Good early morning bite for feisty rainbow and brown trout. Fishing was good around shallow points with a sharp drop-off. Besides a #0 Mepps spinner, the Rapala ultra light minnow and 2" swim baits on a 1/16 oz ned style jig head all produced fish up to 14 inches. Super fun part of our family vacation!

Fish were super shallow in the morning. Burning a spinnerbait above submerged grass and lay downs was a major producer. Once the sun got higher switching to a more natural color was key to getting more bites.

Stocking has been completed for rainbows. Trout are close to shore close to weeds and cover hunting bugs and minows. Very light tackle is need as if they feel any thing trout will spit it out.
