The water level has been fluctuating up and down a foot or so. The ramp is open to launch. The shore is clear for people to drive down to. Be careful where you venture down to, there are still a lot of slick muddy trails. NDOW planted the lake this week with over 3000 tiger trout. Trollers have been using flashers and a half crawler. Rapalas have also been productive. Look and seek out those schools. If you are not catching on the west side, head to the north end. Change up your depth and speed. I fished with Tom Blotter  a few weeks ago and we caught a dozen fish each, ranging 12 inches to 3 lbs.  Very important to keep changing your colors and presentation.


Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
