Permit and Boat Rentals are sold at the Ranger Station. We do not sell fishing licenses so anglers must acquire them elsewhere prior to their visit. Motor boats are discounted to $20 for seniors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and for active military every Saturday.

Due to the threat of Quagga mussels, there is a ban on private water craft and equipment. Restricted equipment includes; private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water.

The back to back Wednesday plants led to spike in activity late in the week including some ten pounders caught in Boat Dock Cove and along Senior Shoreline. Power bait greens and yellows along with inflated nightcrawlers are what’s working. The northern shore is far outpacing the southern one in terms of trout being caught.

The bass bite remains slow with very few bass being reported. Largemouth Bass can be found around structure. They respond well to crawdads, swimbaits, and dark colored plastics.

The crappie have been elusive, for the most part, having retreated to their winter haunts. Crappie are most often caught on finger jigs or live golden shiners.

Each month Whopper Contest winners in four categories are awarded a free fishing and boating permit. For information on the contest or fishing conditions, please contact the Ranger Station at (760) 839-4346.
