Water temperatures are sitting at approximately 62F. Fall stocking has begun at Cave Lake with half of the allotment being stocked last week.  So far 5,054 Rainbow Trout averaging 7.7 inches have been stocked. Anglers should expect to catch 8-to-11-inch Rainbow Trout and the occasional 9-inch Brown Trout.  There are still a few large 20-inch plus Brown Trout in the lake that have carried over since the draw down of the lake for dam repairs.  Anglers will catch trout on PowerBait, spinners, and nightcrawlers. Brown Trout will begin spawning soon and anglers can target these fish at the upper end of the lake as they access Cave Creek.
