Water temps have dipped into the low 40s. Weather has been warmer than normal for this time of year and the boat dock remains in the water for now. Water clarity is improving as algae continues to die off. With cooler water temps, trout fishing is steadily picking up and fish are averaging 16″ to 22″. Shoreline anglers are having luck with PowerBait or night crawlers fished off the bottom. Fly anglers are throwing small chironomid patterns, leeches and streamers from shore.

Perch fishing is fair to good, but bass fishing has significantly dropped off with the cooler weather.
