Latest fishing report

DWR report dated Sept. 17, 202654 days old, seasonal outlook

Fall outlook: DWR's fall trout stocking at community ponds usually begins in early September and carries into mid October, and catch rates for trout run good to great. DWR suggests a nightcrawler piece under a bobber or dough bait on the bottom or trailing a casting bubble; spinners, spoons, marabou jigs and streamer flies (Pistol Pete, woolly bugger, leech patterns) can also work.
