The main lake water temperature is in the low to mid 70s. Largemouth bass are in their summer patterns with fish spread out between shallow water weed lines and deeper water points. Largemouth bass are hitting topwater lures in the mornings and late evenings. During the middle of the day bass can be caught on crankbaits, jigs, and finesse lures like drop shots. Look to find bass along submerged logs and deeper weed line edges.

Anglers are catching yellow perch along the edge of the weed lines. Yellow perch can be caught using a worm fished near the bottom or using a small jig/jigging spoon tipped with a worm fished near the bottom.

Trout fishing in rivers and streams is open through October 31. Trout angling is restricted to artificial lures and flies in streams and river above tidewater. Trout fishing in the lakes is open year-round. Trout anglers are having success trolling in deeper water using wedding rings tipped with a nightcrawler.
