Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: repairs are done and channel catfish are being stocked into September, with trout stocking resuming in late September and running into late November. Trout fishing should be good to great; fish stay deep in September and feed at all depths once it cools. Spinners, spoons, jigs, flies, nightcrawlers and dough bait all work.
