It has been two months since the last rainbow trout stocking and thus not many have been caught this month. Instead, anglers are targeting largemouth bass and channel catfish, the latter of which was stocked in April on the week of the 28th and May on the week of the 19th. Anglers are catching largemouth bass using small 6-inch plastic swimbaits and soft plastic worms. Catfish are being caught using chicken liver, corn, and stink baits. Special Regulations: The limit is 4 trout, 2 bass, 4 catfish, and 10 sunfish. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
