Trout fishing still decent despite the warmer weather. Boat anglers have been doing well trolling lures or using slip bobbers with nightcrawlers or power bait on Carolina rigs with light line. Trout are holding between the 15 ft. – 25 ft. depth. Shore anglers have also been getting bit west of red house towards dam or at the mouths of boulder and papoose. Early morning or early evening is the best times to fish.
