Water levels and water clarity are in good shape. The road is also in good condition. Trout fishing is beginning to pick back up with the cooler temps. PowerBait and worms are always reliable, or try throwing a rooster tail or small spoon. Streamer and leech patterns should work for fly anglers. Bass fishing is beginning to slow for the season. Throw finesse baits near cover as the fish slow down with cooler temps.
