Conditions at Wilson are similar to South Fork with trout fishing starting to pick up and bass fishing starting to slow down.  Surface water temperatures in the low to mid 60’s. There is still a fair amount of algae and weeds.  Shore fishing has picked up and fishing form a boat or float tube has been good.  Use the same techniques as at South Fork Reservoir.  Fly fishermen seem to be having the best luck using leeches, wooly buggers and chironomids.  Bass fishing has slowed in numbers but has improved in size.  Again, anglers should use the same presentations, colors and techniques that are being used at South Fork Reservoir, dark soft plastic grubs and crankbaits. With low water conditions the boat ramp is unusable so canoes and small cartopper boats are the way to go for those wanting to get on the water.
