[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 3]Shore anglers reported good success for stripers and a few stocked rainbow trout in the Hemenway Harbor and Pumphouse Cove area following the trout plant. The stripers ranged from 14 – 16 inches and were taken with anchovies. The trout averaged 11 inches and were taken with nightcrawlers and PowerBait.[/size][/font]

Due to the cold and windy weather, angler success rate dropped from the previous week. Boaters that were casting and trolling large lures in search of big striped bass only found small fish that weighed from 2 – 3 pounds.
Shore anglers fishing Willow Beach reported good success for stocked rainbow trout following the weekly trout plant. PowerBait and worms were landing the fish.
Placer Cove, Willow Beach, Aztec Wash, and Cottonwood Cove are scheduled to be stocked with rainbow trout tomorrow (01/09/04).

Daniel Maes, Installation Technician, said that because of strong winds, both Haymeadow and Cold Springs reservoirs are still only approximately half covered in ice. The ice is only two inches thick and not yet safe for ice fishing. No fish were creeled this past week.
A recent storm deposited six inches of snow and the high temperatures were in the mid 50s and the lows were in the lower 20s.[/indent]
