TROUT
The trout bite has been really good recently but most of the fish being caught are just the trout that have been stocked here recently, although a few people are catching nice ones here and there. A good way to catch these trout from the bank would be to go early in the morning and fish with a spinner or Kastmaster, they can also be caught by bottom fishing with worms and Powerbait. Trolling however they can be caught using Speedy Shiners, Rapalas and Apex lures. The trout are anywhere from the surface to 40 ft. deep chasing baitfish.
BASSThe bass bite on the lake recently has been pretty tough but with this rain we look forward to better fishing. At the moment the fish are up in about 20-30 ft. of water in the morning time and back out to 40, 50, and even 60 ft. when it gets warmer throughout the day. Some good lures to use to catch the bass at this time is to throw swimbaits and jigs around shallow structure in the morning time and when the sun begins to come up higher, spoons, dropshots, and jigs are good options to use on steep drop offs or rock walls.
CATFISHThe catfish bite has dropped off almost completely as they become a lot less active in the winter time and wait for the water to warm up to start actively feeding again.
CRAPPIEThe crappie bite should be beginning to pick up relatively soon especially with the cold weather and rain that is on the way which should make them school up and become more active they can be caught with minnows, dropshots, spoons and crappie jigs. The best bet would be to jig up next to trees in a creek arm that has plenty of bait. It seems that the majority of the crappie are sitting between 35-60ft suspended against structure.

CRAPPIEThe crappie bite is slowly beginning to pick up with the colder weather but will get increasingly better with more rain and cold weather. The best way to catch them during the day would be with spoons or crappie jigs in 30-50 foot of water and at night the best option would be to use a crappie light and fish in a cove with plenty of bait and jig or use live minnows anywhere from 5-15 feet under the surface.
