The river is producing striped bass between 1 and 2 pounds, but some lucky anglers are occasionally catching bigger fish. One angler reported catching a 9-pound striper on a pencil popper. Rainbow trout fishing is slow, but a dry caddis fly might entice the fish due to the recent caddis hatch on the river.  Catfish are hiding in the heavy vegetation and are most likely

Bluegill, green sunfish, and bass are what most anglers are catching at the ponds. Bass are hitting on plastics and spinnerbaits. Catfish are hitting on night crawlers and hotdog pieces. Small hooks with mealworms or chunks of nightcrawlers are working the best for bluegill and green sunfish.
