Trout run to 20 inches and 3-4 pounds. A 4.5-pound largemouth was taken off the shore on a crawler by an angler fishing for trout. Wind has hampered fishing this week. Bridge and Winton Park are good bets for stocked trout. Tim Mitchell at Mitchell's Outpost said fishing in the main lake and Forebay is dynamite.
Minnows are productive.
Stripers haven't been boiling but are only a few feet below the surface. Mitchell said crappie are running heavy at the D-Dam, where minnows are the big takers. Trout tournament Saturday produced a big rainbow of 18.5 inches. The bass bite has slowed a little, but there is a lot of quality. There also are good numbers of trout, but Waymire said the lack of crappie is puzzling.
