Daniel Maes, assistant installation manager, said that the winds were not as bad as the previous week so there were more fishing opportunities.
Anglers said that fishing was good on both Haymeadow and Cold Springs reservoirs. Rainbow trout up to 17 inches are being caught with PowerBait and night crawlers. Largemouth bass are being caught with crank baits and rubber worms.
Shore anglers are advised that weeds in Haymeadow Reservoir are becoming more prevalent and have begun to make fishing difficult.
Daytime temperatures were in the low 80s and the night temperature has dropped to the high 50s.
