Access is shut down due to snow and muddy roads, but thaw is progressing quickly. No current boat launching. When accessible, expect good early-season action for rainbows with small spoons, worms, and streamers. Keep an eye on road conditions. Fish are hungry post-winter, so once reachable, it’ll be worth the hike.
