Fishing forecast (September through November): Fall trout stocking typically begins at the community ponds in early September and continues into mid-October. Trout catch rates are good to great during these fall months.
Rainbow trout: We recommend using a piece of nightcrawler fished below a bobber, or trout dough bait fished off the bottom or behind a casting bubble. Lures (such as inline spinners, casting spoons and marabou jigs) and streamers (such as Pistol Pete flies, woolly buggers and leech patterns) can also be effective.
Largemouth bass: The primary forage of this species are young bluegill and crappie. Try casting spinner baits, tube jigs, twist tail grubs and crankbaits perpendicular to shore.
Bluegill and sunfish: Try fishing a worm under a bobber on a size 8 or size 10 hook. Bluegill and other sunfish can often be found near submerged brush or aquatic vegetation.
