Trout:

Trout are being caught mostly from the shoreline around Half-Moon Bay, Jump-Off Point, and the North Shore on the days immediately following a stock, and schools showing up in Hidden Bay and deeper water the longer the trout are in the water. Nightcrawlers, mini-jigs, mouse tails, and spoons have been fairly reliable baits catching trout.

Bass:

Bass have been eating their fill of trout on stock days, and the following days, but are still being caught with swim-baits, worms, and other standard baits. They are not incredibly active with the colder water temperatures, so they are staying put in areas around the lake with structure.

Catfish:

Catfish have been caught consistently in deep water since our last Catfish stock in September 2024. Still lots in the lake, and being caught with mackerel, dough-bait, chicken livers, etc. Throw something stinky down to the bottom and let it sit.
