150cfs makes it little high for easy wading on the East Walker, but definitely low enough to get into some fish. Supplemental stocking will continue into the summer as conditions allow. Streamers are fishing well with the higher flows now but we should start to see a shift to some smaller nymphs and dries with the warmer weather. Hopper time is almost here! Spin fishing

Our urban ponds are just starting to shift into summer mode with the coming heat. Some of the warmer ponds will start to see the stocking slow or stop for the season. Wilson Commons, Mitch Park Pond, and the Verdi Ponds all hold some warmwater species that can be fun to target when trout fishing slows. Stocking will continue at some of the cooler ponds

Stocking – Fish in the Humboldt River are self-sustaining and stocking is not necessary. Regulations – Limit is 25 game fish of which not more than 5 may be trout, 5 may be walleye, 5 may be black bass and 2 may be white bass or white bass hybrids over 15 inches total length. White bass or wipers under 15 inches total length may be

Fishing has been fair at Bilk for stocked and carryover trout. Bass should pick up with the heat and continue to be good in the afternoons till dusk. Worms off the bottom can be good in open water, otherwise the bobber is necessary to keep it off the bottom and out of the weeds.

Fishing for walleye, crappie, channel catfish and wipers will typically pick up when water temperatures get into the mid 50s. Fishing should get better as we near the end of June.

Closed until June 11, 2022.  Fishing is expected to be good. A substantial fish die-off occurred in the summer of 2020 but the fishery is rebounding nicely. Fish size is expected to be smaller than normal as the fishery continues to rebuild.

Stocking – Trout are stocked occasionally, which depends on current abundance and water conditions. Regulations – Limit is 5 trout and 15 warmwater game fish of which not more than 5 may be black bass and 5 may be walleye. Live baitfish and aquatic bait from the Humboldt River Basin may be used. Commercially prepared and preserved baitfish or their parts may be used as

Closed to fishing until June 11, 2022.  Fishing is expected to be great to excellent this season.

Fishing has been good for smallmouth and white bass using rooster tails, rubber worms, and bright colored jigs. Look for smallmouth and walleye around rocky structure and deeper drop offs. Fly Fisherman are picking up an occasional walleye or bass on chartreuse woolly buggers or clouser minnows fishing rocky points. Carp fishing has been good and can be found in most of the shallow bays.

An increase in the lake level is key to the fishery rebounding.
