Advice and Tips
If you're trout fishing from the shore or from a boat—worms, salmon eggs, Power Bait,
and lures are known to be successful. If your fishing for Catfish try the typical bait such as
chicken livers, worms and large shrimp. If you prefer Bass fishing they are most easily caught
in the late spring, but be aware of the catch and release regulation which requires
anglers to release all bass caught prior to July 1st.
