Two February trout plants dropped 1,000 pounds into Lakes 4 and 6 on the 6th and another 1,000 into Lakes 2 and 7 on the 20th. Most fish are holding 10-20 feet down on main-basin breaks and outside points. Bottom-fished chartreuse or green PowerBait is getting most of the bites. Trout worms on 3-4 foot leaders are also getting fish in deeper water. Look for another stocking March 6 in lakes 3 and 6.

Bass are moving shallow in the afternoon and setting up tight to reeds or weed clumps, as that water is warming first. Jerkbaits and lipless cranks are drawing a few reaction bites, but jigs and plastics have been best, picking off fish sitting close to cover. Most are under a pound, with an occasional better one mixed in.
