Anglers are reported using PowerBait, PowerEggs, small soft plastics, and inline spinners for trout. Channel catfish are picking up this time of year, and popular baits include chicken liver, cut-up hotdogs, and nightcrawlers. Largemouth bass can be caught with either hard or soft plastic swimbaits. Special Regulations: The limit is 1 bass; minimum of 13 inches. Single electric motor only. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations.
