Rainbow trout, brown trout, tiger trout and wiper were stocked this spring. Trout fishing is good in the early mornings and late evenings, with most catches measuring 12″-18″ and several over 20″. Nymphs under and indicator and dry fly patterns are preferred with warming temperatures. Spin casters will have luck floating PowerBait or worms just off the bottom. Bass fishing is good, with fish hanging around rocky outcroppings and submerged vegetation. Wacky rig Senkos, flukes under a dropshot, and chatterbaits with trailers are some recommended set ups. As of July 1, anglers can keep 1 black bass and 1 wiper. Minimum size for black bass and wiper is 15 inches total length.
