Fishing Report


Anglers over the last week have changed tactics completely to catch fish, with most anglers having to fish deeper to temp fish. With the bright sun and warm weather anglers reported hitting fish at around 6 feet deep using Damsels and Eggs. Others have still tempted fish using Dries on the top but they reported fish were feeding on small fly life.
