My home town lake will be getting stocked sometime this week with 6500 and another at the end of the month then 7000 more in april this is a increase of 6000 over last year there should be lots of fish to catch, it is worth the drive down to fish a nice lake with good launches.:twocents:

hey willis...... one of my good friends fathers has a house right on the lake with a dock and everything. We will be headed down there this weekend for some good fishing. If your down there this weekend and you see a Black and white 14' boat with a bunch of people in it say hi. We'll be down there all weekend.

fished it this afternoon for an hour or two. my seven your old son caught a nice one 18 inches long but it was a native and had to throw it back. Had 4-5 hits but unable to hook up. Most boats I talked to reported it very slow. In a week or so it should be hopping though.

Got a live report 5 min ago...fishing off the dock at regata tossing spinners they have landed over 20 fish and kept 4 that were good size, they have only taken one on bait today....every 2 or 3 casts they are hooking up. The fish are not as large as last years plants but a few good size mixed in..if you are in a boat troll just inside the no wake bouys to the south along the shoreline and you will find them, use lures or flys with a single split shot 3 ft up the line, try to stay far enouph out to not get in the bankies lines.:twocents:

Fished here this morning. Launched the boat @ 7:00 and trolled a wedding ring without much luck. Had a Gulp worm on it, switched to a Gulp Salmon Egg (Yellow) about 45 minutes later and caught one about 11". About 8:30 I changed to a brass Kastmaster and WOW! In the next 3.5 hours, kept 5, hooked and lost another 7, and missed a bunch of bites.

Nothing of size but good fishing. Seems to be an active fishery right now. Of course, they just put 7,000 legal fish in there on the 13th.
