The water level is low and weedy which is normal but making shore fishing difficult. Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 60’s. The bass bite has slowed with the cooler temperatures and is fair for eight to 12-inch bass using soft plastic dark colored grubs and spinnerbaits.  Trout fishing is picking up and is fair to good from a float tube or small boat.  Worms seem to be the presentation of choice for trout, though small spinners should also work for those who want to throw some hardware. Just get the presentation down deep to the cooler water.  Fly rodders should be using chironomids, PT nymphs, hare’s ears, small black or olive buggers and leeches.
