Trout fishing is picking up with the cooler weather. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch. Fly anglers are reporting success with dark-colored streamer and leech patterns. Small dry flies are also still getting hit. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin anglers. Fishing for bass is slowing for the season, with far less keeper-size fish being caught. Special Regulations: Minimum size keeper for black bass is 10 inches. Artificial lures only in the collection ditch.
