Trout anglers lined the shores for excellent fishing after the last plant. Rainbow Powerbait, minijigs, spoons, and spinners all fooled fish. Some good-sized rainbows were reported by anglers trolling Flicker Shad. Largemouth anglers worked finesse baits and Senkos near the cattails and reeds for fair results. Catfish were reliable for anglers soaking SSS dip bait, and crappie inhaled small live minnows and dop shotted soft plastics.
