The EID day use and boat ramp has closed for the season. I have not heard back from the resort as to when or if they will close this year. The resort has new local owners, and they are settling into the resort. The winter shore fishing is a good time for browns along the dam and the west shore using nightcrawlers or tossing Thomas Buoyants.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
