Water temps have dropped back into the 50s and trout fishing is good. Fall stocking occurred this week, with an additional 8,000 rainbow trout stocked. Anglers should expect to catch hatchery stocked trout, however, there is a chance that you can catch a trout carried over from previous years. Try nightcrawlers, PowerBait, spinners (Mepps and Panther Martins), and a variety of wetflies behind a bubble.
