Water temperatures are sitting in the low 40s. Trout fishing has been good throughout the reservoir. Fish are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms fished off the bottom, as well as flashy spinners throw from shore. Good-sized rainbows have been reeled in by shoreline anglers at Jetski Beach, Fisherman’s Point, and the dam. Fly anglers are having success with nymph, leech and streamer patterns. Boaters are reporting success along the western flats and northwest shoreline. The boat dock at the main boat ramp will be removed next week.

No catches of black bass or wiper reported with the cooling weather.
