7/27/2010 - Lon Hagler Reservoir - Fishing has slowed since the last stocking in early June. Bank fishing has been slow fishing off the bottom with PowerBait. Fish are mainly feeding on the top, so fly anglers may have some luck if you can find the right fly. Flies and floats seem to be the ticket right now.
