Jesse landed a three pound bass Sunday afternoon (photo). He was casting a crawdad near the fishing pier. The trout bite has slowed a little but there are still some anglers landing 2 or 3 Tailwalkers. Bass are still biting well. Big bass are getting hooked on swim baits and artificial worms.
Please release spawning bass, we do not stock bass so the only way to maintain the population is to allow them to spawn.
