Hints and Tips for Fishing this Area

These lakes are well-stocked for the season, so the fish are usually nice and hungry. Get some insight into bait and flies that are working at the small stores and resorts at South Lake and Lake Sabrina. Shore fishing is just as productive as being in a boat, and the location is spectacular, which makes any day a good day of fishing.
