Water temps dropping into the mid 60s. Early mornings are still producing a few trout with small, flashy spinners or PowerBait combined with small pieces of worm. Bass and bluegill catch rates are better. A variety of soft plastics and jigs with active presentations should work for bass. Bluegill are most likely to hit worms under a bobber. The boat ramp is not open this year due to low water levels.
