Fishing for rainbow trout is slow. Trout typically hold in 15 feet of water when water temperature are warm. Using a downrigger or heavier lines can improve catch rates. For recent fishing updates, call the resort at 1-866-201-4194. ‌

The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish. Yellow perch fishing should be fair. Fishing bait near the submerged vegetation beds can be good for brown bullhead.‌

Fishing for warmwater fish should be good this week with continued hot weather. Fishing for largemouth bass along the many docks on the lake can be productive. The area near the lily pads on the north east side of the lake can be good. Smallmouth bass fishing has been good around the rocky areas northwest of the lodge.‌
