Not a lot of change, with some streams down a bit and others up a bit. Expect springtime snow, ice and muddy driving conditions into many of these streams. With colder water temperatures expect stream fishing to be slow. Fish the deeper pools and slower water (if open) where the fish hang out this time of year to conserve energy. As of March 17, The

No recent information on the condition of Harrison Pass.  With the snow at higher elevations last weekend it probably isn’t be passable. Secret Pass is recommended.  Plenty of open water in the collection ditch and the ponds. Some ice in the mornings but with warmer temperatures forecast for next week that should go away.  Fishing has been fair to good for 13 to 18-inch fish

The ice edges have softened up and as the day warms up there are a few inches of slush. The north end of the lake has gray porous ice, the mouth of both Hendricks and Penrod Arms have weak spots from pressure ridges and anglers need to proceed with extreme caution.  No ATV’s or UTV’s should be on the ice and this is probably the

The road was in good shape last week, but the lake level is low.  The ice is receding with open water from shore for fishing.  No reports from anglers on fishing conditions.  Expect similar conditions as South Fork Reservoir and anglers should use the same presentations.  Since the big question every spring is when will the lake spill, with the low water levels and lack

South Fork is completely ice free and boats can be launched at the main boat ramp on the northeast side of the lake though the dock is still out of the water. The concrete boat ramp at Coyote Cove is out of the water so is unusable. Little has changed in fishing conditions and while some days produce fish, others have not.  Fishing has been

The water levels continue to drop at Cave Lake in an anticipation of renovation efforts on the dam in this year. The lake is closed to fishing at this time.  NDOW conducted a fish salvage in December and moved some very nice brown trout ranging in size from eight to 25 inches into Comins Lake. A few of the larger brown trout were pushing seven

Cold Creek Reservoir was salvaged so that water control structure could be fixed to prevent leaking.  When the control structure is fixed, the reservoir will be filled and NDOW will begin rebuilding the fishery in spring or summer of 2022 depending upon water conditions.

As of Thursday, March 17, the north end of the lake was 70% open water with plenty of fishing access to open water from shore.  The south end was mostly covered with very unsafe ice. There is some open water but anglers probably can’t access the open water.  Please stay off the ice.  Anglers report good fishing for trout at the north end.  Nightcrawlers seem

As of Thursday, March 17, Illipah was mostly covered in very unsafe ice with open water starting to appear along the shorelines.  Anglers should stay off the ice.  With the warmer weather predicted expect open water for fishing sometime in the next week to 10 days. For bait anglers nightcrawlers and PowerBait are the best bet. Small spinners, spoons and Kastmasters in gold for those

Very little change, with some streams down a bit and others up a bit. Most streams are well below the median for this time of year. Expect springtime snow, ice and muddy driving conditions into many of these streams. As of March 18, Steptoe Creek was flowing at 2 cfs.
