The lake is sitting at capacity and spilling water into the North Valley of Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area.  Ice is sitting at 10 to 12 inches throughout most of the lake.  Fishing has been fair to good for trout.  Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, mealworms, a variety of jigs, wet flies, and powerbait.  Anglers also report catching a few largemouth bass through the

The reservoir remains at capacity and ice is sitting at 8to 10 inches throughout the lake.  Some variation in ice depth may be present were the creek comes into the lake and anglers should use caution when fishing this area.  Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, mealworms, a variety of jigs, wet flies, and powerbait. 

For the rest of the winter the water temps will settle in the high 30's and maybe reach the low 40 range. Start to pay attention to those slower moving runs (tailouts, deep slack water) which are also alittle deeper (3'-5' range). Indicator nymphing works well in these areas because the water is slower and deeper. Euro nymphing techniques also work very well during this

 Much of the lake is covered with ice, and the recent drop in temperatures should help keep it that way. Trout are hitting on PowerBait and night crawlers.

During the cool winter months, stocked rainbow trout can be found in ponds at Floyd Lamb, Lorenzi, Sunset and Veterans Memorial parks. There is a 3-fish limit at each of these urban ponds. The trout will bite on night crawlers, various shades of PowerBait, meal worms and mini marshmallows. Sometimes a small piece of marshmallow combined with a small worm will fool the wariest trout.

Anglers are reporting good action for striped bass around Kingman Wash. The fish are hitting topwater baits and soft swimbaits. Shore anglers are averaging about 10 fish a day.
