Fishing is still fair to good in the collection ditch for rainbow trout and tiger trout, with a few brown trout also being picked up. Brown Dike and Unit 21 have been producing fair to good fishing for bass, with 10-15 smalls per keeper.  The boat opener on June 15 should be good fishing in the South Lake with water levels being at or near objective.

Fly anglers are reporting success with nymphs like the copper john and gold-ribbed hare’s ear. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin anglers. Special Regulations: Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. No wading allowed in the collection ditch.
