Our sister lake is rocking and rolling and kicking out a lot of big fish in the 5lb to 10lb range. DFW stockings haven’t been as robust as we’d hoped, but we are getting what could be considered as average loads but with the fish from Wright’s Rainbows and BIG loads from Desert Springs in Oregon – fishing has been exceptional.
 
We still have 5 TAGGED TROUT left, only half have been weighed in, so things will get interesting over the next month. If you’re lucky enough to catch at tagged fish at South Lake you need only turn in the tag to our staff at South Lake or Parchers Resort to be entered in a drawing for a bunch of prizes including cabin stays, paddle boards at Sabrina, RV hookup site at Creekside RV Park, a guided ½ trip on Crowley Lake, custom local artwork by Oceans to Mountains Art and more. No entry required, just go fish and maybe get lucky.
 
The Hot Stuff – Thomas Buoyants, crawlers, jigs, any bead-head flies fished under an indicator.
 
The Hot Spots – We have 5 inlets flowing at the moment, all good spots. The Rock Slide, dam and boiler cove are also worth a stop. Most of the big fish are coming off the Rock Slide or the Long Lake Inlet for some reason.
