The fishing has picked up when you can get out. The day before my last report, I think NDOW read it because they planted almost 4,000 rainbow trout. Now there is a boat inspector at the ramp before you enter. There was no charge for the inspection. Here also, NDOW is concerned about our waters—make sure you say hello to him for me. Most anglers have been trolling Rapalas or a small set of flasher blades with a nightcrawler. Shore anglers have been using inflated crawlers or PowerBait in yellow or rainbow colors.
