At Stampede Reservoir, the boat launch is open and water capacity is at 100%. Water temps are averaging in the mid 50s°F. Anglers fishing for Kokanee can try trolling pink and orange hoochies behind dodgers in 25–40 feet of water. Most kokanee are still small, about 8–10 inches in size, but aggressive. Anglers trolling for rainbows at Stampede Reservoir can find success using rapalas. Shore anglers fishing for trout should try using spinners or worms and powerbait with a Carolina rig. Quality rainbows are being caught from both shore and a boat.
