Shore fishing has been productive near the main boat ramp and along the shoreline past the campgrounds near the parking lot. Anglers fishing floating nightcrawlers or PowerBait with a 4-foot leader are finding the most success. Trollers are picking up quality fish by working the main body of the lake at depths of 20–25 feet or targeting the deeper trench in 60–70 feet of water. Flashers paired with nightcrawlers, along with larger Rapalas, Lyman Lures, and FlatFish, have been producing Mackinaw and brown trout weighing up to 10 pounds. Rainbow trout in the 12–20-inch range are being caught by trolling Baby Simons and other trout-pattern lures 10–20 feet below the surface around the lake. As is typical this time of year, the morning bite has been significantly more productive than the afternoon.
