[cool][#0000ff]There are fewer tilapia in the big deep lake but there are some bigguns in there...reaching weights of over 6 pounds. Also harder to catch. Divers feed them squirts of Cheeze Whiz from cans underwater. Maybe a good "Velveeta hackle" fly would be in order.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The biggest population and the easiest to catch are the ones in the shallower "bluegill pond"...close to the road. The sizes go in cycles. Sometimes smaller than others, but looks like there are some big enough to justify a trip.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They are primarily vegetarian...and green peas do work. But in a competitive environment they eat anything that doesn't eat them first. The main food item in that water system is a small aquatic beetle. Even bass eat them. But fish eggs and small fry are on the menu for all species. A lot of the "regulars" from Wendover just soak a piece of crawler or fish a small jig with a bit of crawler for sweetener.[/#0000ff]
