Good afternoon everyone! We've had some solid action recently! Pictured from top to bottom we have Brandon with a solid lightning trout, Jacob with his first ever fish, and Gasner with an awesome rainbow trout! We stocked lakes 2, 3, and 7 last with a total of 1,000 lbs. split between the three of them. We stocked the lakes with lightning trout last on the re-opener on January 10th and there are still lightning trout being caught too! Our next stock will be on February 7th. 1,000 lbs. of trout will be split between lakes 2,4, and 7. The best baits to be using right now are powerbait, rat tails, kastmasters, roostertails, and night crawlers. Green powerbait specifically has had multiple reports of success recently. 

 

The bass bite has been a little slow but there has been some action. The water is pretty cold, around 52-54 degrees, so a slower moving bait like jigs, and worms would work well. Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits could also see some success.
