Spring is here and the lake will be the place to be. The lake level is back up as well and we have been working on new regulations to keep it up from now on. The fish are biting and should provide good fishing right on thru the summer and fall. Hybrids and stripers are cruising the shallows and are easy to take on free lined herring. If you are lucky enough to find them under the birds or rolling around in an area you can easily catch them on flukes, top water, bucktails, along with many other artificials. Crappies are on the banks and can be caught on jigs and minnows beneath a cork. Shellcracker should start biting by mid April and fishing worms on the bottom around pebbles and shells will do the trick.

 

While camping there are plenty of activities going on. April 4^th at Elijah Clark State Parkyou can learn how to make dolls the way the pioneers did. On the same day at Mistletoe Park there will be practice day for golf, ladder golf, disc golf and miniature golf challenge that will be held on Tuesday April 7^th at 10 A.M.
