Water levels are down about 10 feet and the boat ramp is barely submerged. It is unlikely anyone can launch a boat at this time. The shorelines are very muddy due to the receding water. Surface water temps are in the high 40s to low 50s. The road is also in good condition, but may become muddy with precipitation in the forecast. Trout fishing has picked up with the cooler temps. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try throwing a rooster tail or small spoon. Streamer and leech patterns should work for fly anglers. Bass fishing is slowing for the season. Throw finesse baits near cover as the fish slow down with cooler temps.
