Remember your Adventure Pass! Most bait fishing is done with Chartreuse or Rainbow colored Power Bait, the glitter ones work the best. There's usually a few fly fishermen in float tubes hooking up now and then, usually a limit if you find what the trout want to eat.

Usually scud imitations and wooly buggers work, but I've had good luck with streamers and leech patterns, which on occasion hooks the smaller bass. Just a nice place to kick back and relax since it's not a popular place. Post by Eug1 » Sun Feb 25, pm. Post by Texas » Mon Feb 26, am. Post by Lightningx » Mon Feb 26, am.
