Latest fishing report
Summer outlook: trout stocking runs through June into July, and conditions usually turn too poor for stocking by August. Trout bite well, best early and late since paddleboarders and swimmers crowd the ponds. Try nightcrawler under a bobber, scented dough bait, spinners, spoons, jigs, and woolly bugger or leech streamers for trout and wiper.
This report is more than 60 days old. Conditions have likely changed.
