The lake association lowers the lake level every five years to help keep the grass in check. They did this this year as well as lowering the water even more to do some work on the dam. The grass will be back but it will not be as thick this year.

For the mother load lakes you can't beat a MS Slammer, Wake Jr. and Lunker Punker. I would get a Slammer and Punker 1st, based primarily on price and the fact that they get bit. As for the color of the Wake Jr. go with the Kokanee or blue trout.
