Water temps are in the high 60s. Trout fishing from shore has slowed a bit compared to the last few weeks, but boaters are reporting decent catch rates. Trout are averaging 16″ to 22″. Target trout in shallower water in the early morning when temps are cool, then focus on deeper water by midday. Try small, flashy spinners or night crawlers combined with PowerBait.
Bass fishing has picked up with warmer temps. Try targeting bass in the shallows as they prepare to spawn. Topwater lures and bladed jigs are good choices. Soft plastics in green pumpkin and watermelon should work well too. Special regulations: Beginning July 1, anglers may keep one black bass 15 inches or longer.
