The trout fishing is the best of the year. Cactus Patch, Eagle Point and Shadow Cove produced limits. Trolling has been poor but chucking silver Kastmasters in those spots have also been productive. The bass are definitely staging. A few are in shallow looking but not on nests The majority of fish are being caught in 15’ to 25’ of water. Dropshoting and throwing Ikas. Greens, browns and morning dawn all have been effective colors. An interesting pattern showed for the cats earlier than normal. Bass anglers fishing the brush tight to the bank nailed some nice channel catfish.
