The lake is low and the fishing has been fair. When the lake is not frozen. Inflated nightcrawlers and powerbait have been successful. A few anglers have ventured out along the dam with Thomas Buoyant spoons.  I would recommend the paved road right now. The dirt road is mainly frozen in the morning and muddy in the afternoon. Be careful of the ice areas on the paved area. Some spots will not see the sun until may.


Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
