The rainbow trout are 20-30 feet down and are being caught on salmon eggs or night crawlers. The crappie is biting about 10-20 ft. down and near any brush, rocky shelf or structure. Bass bite is slowing down, but should be back to normal after the initial inversion layer which provides cooler water temp. Catfish are caught off the bottom in muddy areas using or mackerel or nightcrawlers for bait. Bluegill & Redear are biting atomic tubes. It is mostly bluegill being caught and redear bite is really slow. We are at about 25% capacity here at the lake with about 90ft. of water at Bradbury Dam. Still plenty of fishing! Come visit our bait shop for any tackle and bait you may need. We have live bait for sale as well as coffee and snack!
