Fishing Should Get Better

There have not been any recent reports, but fishing should get better as temperatures start to drop. Trolling spoons and other lures can be a good option for catching fish. Bank fishing is also good, but don't be afraid to move around the lake where there is reduced pressure. If you don't catch any fish at Lofton, I would go down to Heart Lake and try your luck there. The gravel launch is getting tough to launch small boats due to the low water.
