The road to Wilson is clear and dry and the lake is full. There is opportunity for open water fishing from the shorelines. With more precipitation forecasted for this weekend, expect the road and shorelines to be a bit muddy. PowerBait and worms or small flashy spinners should work for spin anglers, while small nymph, midge and leech patterns should work for fly anglers.
