I caught 1 rainbow down by the tower by the dam on a huss lure . It was funny i was just casting out & reeling in & it hit about 10 feet from the boat ,took a leap out of the water & then headed to the back of the boat by the motor (i was in the front). He yelled don't lose him my dad wants some trout to eat. The next thing i knew it took another leap & landed in the boat at my buddys feet, the lure came out & there  the fish was in the boat ....he looked at me and said now thats what i call service  LOL . I said let the poor guy go & we did . Then went up to the swimming area & caught a ton of small crappie.

A couple of years ago there used to be a sweet weed growth up across from the beach and late evening in the summer they would just lay up on the top like big ass logs. Did real well on buzzbaits and zara spooks. I have even seen them in the spillway hanging around. There are some big muskies in Raccoon,  and there are some nice bass too. The trouble is cathcing them.......
