Fishing Report (Updated 5.15.2008)

Trout: Good to very good.  Trout are in a transitional stage right now between spring and summer patterns.  They have not moved very deep yet but are going that direction.  Catching rainbows early morning up to about 4 pounds has been easy, reports guide Russ Reynolds, and double hook-ups have been common until about 7:30.  The large browns should start biting in the next few weeks.  Try trolling in 60 – 65 feet of water using trolling spoons or large plugs; also pull large live shiners in the same zone.  Night fishing continues to be productive with large fish and good numbers being caught; troll the rivers for best success. 

Largemouth and Redeye Bass: Excellent.  Fish are spawning and others are moving onto the banks to feed.  The hot lure remains dark swamp crawler green pumpkin Zoom worms.  Also try topwater plugs and Texas rigged worms fished on the bottom.  

Smallmouth Bass: Excellent.  Smallmouth bass are spawning and very nice fish in the 5 to 7 pound range are being caught.  Use plastics and Texas rigged worms.
