FISHING -- Here's this week's tip for catching triploid rainbows at Lake Rufus Woods, from Anton Jones of Darrell and Dad's Family Guide Service:

He recommends fishing by the net pens.

Troll flies with action disks by Wigglefin, spinners or plugs.You can also cast Worden’s Super Roostertails for some great action. Fishing eggs cured with Pautzke’s Borx O’ Fire or simply Pautzke’s Fire Bait on a slip sinker rig up by the pens can get you some pigs.
