Latest fishing report
From July 2 to Oct. 1 anglers may keep six wipers and 16 trout of any species, with spearfishing open. Spring netting found carryover rainbows now 9 to 12 inches, plenty of 16 to 22 inch fish and wipers over 10 pounds. Summer outlook: rainbows go deep, so boats beat shore, which is best on steep south end banks.
