Got there about 5:15AM. Lunar/tide charts said it should be a helluva bite about by 6:30AM. It's all lies I tell you! I threw everything I had at 'em. Split shotted Power Worms under a bobber & floated off the bottom, (Capt America, Fluro-Red, Chartreuse, Orange Sparkle PowerBait from 3 different companies), (chartreuse, Orange, Fluro-Red power eggs,). I even tried a spin-glo setup & a KwikFish. When I left at 11AM at least 10 or 12 people had come and gone all of us fishless, and the guy trolling with his kid looked like a bust too. I think the high water temps have killed the trout bite until fall. Maybe I'll try a much bigger lake like Roesiger where they may still be low enough to catch fish.

I also tried to catch the ever elusive Gissberg Channel Cat(yes its been planted). Tried 3 different types of down south stink bait and also liver flavored PowerBait for Catfish with no luck.

I did see a HUGE school (like 200+) of small 3-4" trout that were very slowly cruising the shoreline in about 2' of water and some type of very small snake swimming across the lake. And if by some miracle the blonde in the pink bikini getting a tan reads this, you made getting skunked fishing today quite a bit more enjoyable. Thanks! ;)

Well they planted 360 trips less than a month ago and a couple thousand stockers earlier in the year. I can't believe there are no fish there unless they are all in the Juvenile only North pond where there is a lot less pressure. I believe these are 2 old gravel pits and since there are no bathymetric maps available there is no way to really know where or if there are any deep holes reachable from shore.

Those ponds are man made fished them alot for bass and theres some big ones in there with big mouths. They eat a lot of those stocker trout. The ponds are small and get alot of pressure. Deepest spot in the south pond is 15' to 18'.
