Martin Lake ‐‐ Martin was stocked with around 7000 rainbow trout about two weeks
ago and the fishing was relatively slow for about a week after. This past weekend
however the fishing has picked up quite a bit and both shore and boat fishermen are
catching their limit in trout. Popular forms of bait have been worms and power bait.
There have been a few reports of people catching pike, and the catfish are starting
to bite at night. Most people are catching catfish on worms as well as lures. The
water temperature is currently around 70 degrees. Martin beach was at capacity this
weekend. With so many boats on the water keep in mind the counter clockwise
direction on the lake.
