Water quality is improving with surface temps dropping into the 50s, but some areas of algae still remain. Expect water temps to drop into the 40s with the cooler weather forecasted in the next week. Trout are averaging 16″- 18″. Worms, PowerBait and spinners are enticing fish, as well as a variety of wooly buggers and leeches for fly anglers. Limit is 5 trout. Bass fishing has slowed with the cooler temperatures, but fish can still be contacted in deeper water (>10 feet). Special Regulations: Anglers may keep one black bass and one wiper measuring 15 inches or longer.
