Weather has been hot and beautiful! Rainbow trout are coming up between 25 to 30 ft. They are being caught around the dam and in Johnson Bay, use garlic nightcrawlers & Panther Martins when trolling. Crappie were biting better this week. They are usually hiding out around the reeds. Try using the atomic tubes. They have been working wonders! Large & small mouth bass were really active this week. Trolling toward the east and near the Dam seemed to be the best places. Rapalas and flicker shads work great! Catfish are active and being caught near the dam and the coves around the Marina. Mackerel's been a popular choice. Bluegill are finally being caught in numbers! Hook & worm are working nicely on boats and off shore. We are at 35% capacity at the lake around 120 ft. of water at Bradbury Dam.
