Fishing at Dead Horse State Park

Trout fishing has slowed some. The best bet is to use corm kernels on a split shot sinker with about 3 feet under the bobber. Power bait is also working fished off the bottom with an egg sinker.

Largemouth bass fishing is fair but has picked up a little. Try small plastic jigs or worms. Small spinners are also working in deep cover.

Bluegills are hot right now but they are small. Same with the crappie. So it’s a good opportunity to get your kids out and teach them a few fishing techniques.

For the smaller fish try a #8 hook with a small piece of worm under a bobber about 2 - 3 feet.

Catfish will be stocked again in first week of June.

Fall Fishing at Dead Horse State Park

Stocked with catfish just 2 weeks ago, fishing is looking good.

Also largemouth bass, bluegill, and trout fishing are doing well.

Try the middle lagoon for the largemouth bass. A few 10 pounders were caught there over the summer. Use in-line spinners, plastic grubs, and small crank baits.

For bluegill try both the middle and lower lagoons with salmon eggs or small worms on a small bait hook (size 10) and a bobber.

Trout stocking will resume in November.
