We met the owner at the entry gate for Tara Lake. He’s a very nice older man. He said a lot of people have been fishing, but I guess I haven’t seen many posts. We fished from 1230-630 with a lunch break in between. Water clarity was up to 1'. The water temp started out at 60 degrees and went up to 65, but dropped to 59 at 6 pm. The bite was best around 3-4 pm. There's a lot of leaves suspended in the lake. Throwing baits with treble hooks was sure to pick up leaves in both shallow and deep water. It was quite annoying especially when one of my favorite bait's a rattletrap. Favorite colors were bluegill and black/blue & blue/watermelon. Chartreuse/white worked as well. My biggest were 18" & 20". I also caught quite a few dinks on this trip. They were chunky though. Snagged a forage fish too. We ended with 20 bass and 4 crappies. They were good hard fighters. Thank you owner and PWF!
