The dock at the main boat ramp is still removed for the winter. Most of the reservoir is ice-free, but there may be very thin ice in some of the coves. Do not attempt to venture onto the ice. Trout fishing has been good mid-morning into the afternoon on sunny days. Fish are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms fished off the bottom, as well as flashy spinners throw from shore. Fly anglers are using leech and streamer patterns. Fish any bait or lure slowly to match fish activity in cooler waters.
No catches of black bass or wiper reported with the cooling weather.
