{"text"=>"Great place to go trout fish below the dam about 0.2 miles down from the dam is some of the best trout fishing I've ever seen in my life also there are some pretty big hybrids running up amd down the hooch take a big popper bobber and a large minnow jig about 18 inches apart and start throwing it and you will catch them even during the colder months when its cold go up to the lake with the same setup and look for the birds attacking the surface of the water that's where there hitting at its awesome if you got a fast boat and a good casting reel and rod you will have fun all day", "languageCode"=>"en"}
