Guide’s Tips & Notes

Advice for This Week
Focus on shore fishing since no boats are allowed. For trout, use long leaders (6–10 feet) to keep lures suspended above weeds and cast into deeper, colder water near the river channel. For catfish, stink baits, trout trix minnows, trout trix worms, and jigs work great. For bass, bluegill, and crappie, try mini crawlers near shore. Study your maps to pinpoint deeper areas on both north and south shores for better success.
Changes We’re Seeing
Despite boat restrictions and warming water, trout are still being caught from shore. Weed growth is increasing as temperatures rise.
Predictions for Next Week
Expect shore fishing to remain productive, especially for catfish and panfish, while trout success may hinge on finding deeper, colder water away from weeds.
