Latest fishing report

DWR report dated Sept. 16, 20268 days old, seasonal outlook

Fall outlook: community pond trout stocking usually resumes in late September once water quality improves and continues into late November, with good to great fishing. Trout stay deep in September, then feed at all depths as it cools. Spinners, spoons, minnow lures, marabou or tube jigs, dry-dropper rigs, nymphs, woolly buggers, nightcrawlers and dough bait all work.
