The cold temperatures have slowed fishing at Rye Patch with a few good reports recently for smallmouth. This summer was one of the best for smallmouth in a long time. Although it has slowed significantly, some smallmouth are still being reported in deeper water off points and around structure. Chartreuse and/or white flies and spinners continue to be the most productive colors. Those willing to

Surface water temperatures have dropped into the low to mid 40’s and the water level, while it has come up a few inches is still low.  Due to low water level, the best fishing access is still from a cartopper or float tube.  Bass fishing is very slow. The usual worms and PowerBait, as well as small spinners, rooster tails, and panther Martins should work

Almost dry and no fish.

Trout fishing has been good most days in the collection ditch. Bass fishing is done in the south lake. While dry flies may still catch an occasional fish in the ditch, nymphs and streamers are the best bet. Leech patterns, balanced leeches, crystal buggers, #14-16 hare’s ears, and #16-18 PT nymphs and chironomids under an indicator are probably the best bet. Other flies working include the usual

Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 40’s and the trout fishing has been air to good while bass fishing has been slow. Shore anglers are now doing as well as boaters for trout. While both Hendricks and Penrod arms are still popular with anglers producing fish. Chironomids, leech patterns and wooly buggers are still the best bet for fly anglers but the

Spin fishermen should be using blue or green spinners with silver blades. Fly rodders

Though the road is still open, the lake is ice covered and there will be no more fishing reports until late spring or early summer depending upon snowfall this winter.

For safety reasons and to expedite the rebuilding of the dam, the lake is being drained and anglers should avoid this lake. Water being drained will be diverted to Comins Lake and if conditions allow, NDOW will be performing a fish salvage moving the fish from Cave and taking them to Comins Lake. Shorelines will be very soft and dangerous due to the complete saturation

No recent report but trout fishing should be fair to good here as at other reservoirs.  The same flies, lures and techniques that work at South Fork should work here.

Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 40’s depending upon time of day and cloud cover.  Fishing has been slow for bass but good for 14 to 17-inch trout.   Anglers will catch trout on nightcrawlers, spinners, nymphs and wooly buggers. Chironomid patterns under an indicator are effective here this time of year.  Bass fishing is slow.  Minnow imitations and large streamer patterns

Surface water temperatures are in the low to mid 40’s here as well and fishing has been good. Best flies right now are leech or wooly bugger patterns.  Fly rodders will also do well on bead head pheasant tails, wooly buggers, chironomids and parachute Adams.  Spinners, PowerBait, and nightcrawlers will do well for the spin casting crowd.
