Comments and Tips:

    A day makes a big difference here: the fish are all caught or have spread out and the bite things out. On our trip only one was caught by us but judging by what others caught I have to say the bite was good with several fish hook including a 8-12 lb fat cat. The spots to fish are the same as a year ago:1)on the right of the food shack and dock slips but no further than half way out to the middle of that side of the lake, 2) on the right side of the point that sticks out and 3)at the point[there is a trough or pocket in front of the point that usually carries a lot of fish and this point was where the fat cat was caught. Hope this helps.
Good fishing.

I just went there last Wed., however, the stocking occured the day before and the fishing went from excellentn down to good as well. So my first suggestion is to go the day they stock without compromise. Limits are easily taken on the stocking days.
