Trout bite is non existent but it's to be expected deep in to summer as we are. Me and a buddy finally caught some small mouth bass though and I got my first 2 crappie! Ofcourse the blue gills were biting aswell. Also looks like the dredging thats going on has affected the fish population very negatively. Tons of catfish were washed up dead on the banks along with a few carp and 1 or 2 nice sized trout (2-3lb). Also spotted a few catfish with sores and spots on them, 5 of the 7 fish we caught Also had noticeable sores and discoloration so they're definetly being affected negatively by something.
