Well, the trout bite has slowed way down for whatever reason which is not a good sign, however, the catfish bite has picked way up in the last few days. And wait for it the crappie have started to bite. Trouble is, you gotta work for them since the lake came up there is a lot more area you have to cover to find them. The small mouth bass are biting very good, you can catch them on bait as well as trolling lures. As for carp, they are just about everywhere in droves. The large mouth are following swim baits up to the boat but are not taking them very well. At least they are finally showing themselves.

These lassen fish are some of the strongest fish you could ever tangle with. One angler who we will call Matt lost a big trout which snapped ten lb....... Read More
