COOS COUNTY LAKES and PONDS: Trout, warmwa- ter fish Bluebill Lake is scheduled to be stocked with legal size trout this week. Trophy and legal size trout were recently stocked into Empire Lakes and Powers Pond. Anglers that catch a tagged trout in Empire Lakes can report the tag num- ber to ODFW by stopping by the Charleston Office, calling 541-888-5515, or report tags online. A few of these tags are worth a $50 gift card. Bradley Lake was stocked last week with trophy trout. These fish were planted from the north side of the lake to avoid the aquatic vegetation problem at the boat ramp. Legal size trout have also been stocked recently into Tenmile Lakes and Mingus Park Pond. Fishing in the area lakes for trout has been ok with anglers having the best success using small spinners, spoons, or garlic flavored Powerbait. The daily trout bag limit in these lakes is five trout per day with only one trout over 20 inches. Largemouth bass fishing is picking up with the warmer days. This time of the year bass will be found in shallow water typically near a weed- line or structure. Plastic worms, shallow crankbaits, and spinner baits are good to use for bass.
