Anglers report catching crappie in the rocks, fishing a small white plastic grub underneath a bobber.

The road to Wilson has been graded and tout fishing here has been good while bass fishing has been fair to good. The lake is no longer spilling over the spillway. The water in the lake is clearing and fishing conditions are good. Trout were averaging 13 to 16 inches in the lake. Expect similar conditions to South Fork and anglers should

The water level is up, making shore access difficult in many areas due to brush. If you have a float tube, kayak or canoe it will definitely help out. Bait anglers have seen fishing slow as aquatic insects are coming out, though fly fishermen are finding fishing very good. Fly rodders have had success using small elk hair caddis, hopper

Expect this to continue throughout the summer. The surface water temperatures have climbed into the 70’s and trout fishing has slowed considerably due to this. Even boaters aren’t having a lot of luck

Nothing Nothing has really changed here as fishing has been good for 10 to 12 inch fish using worms or cheese baits under a bobber. Small spinners are also effective. For fly rodders: hare’s ears, pheasant tail nymphs, prince nymphs, small crystal buggers and Cave Lake specials are all good flies. The surface water temperatures are in the mid 60’s and there are

Fishing is good for both trout and largemouth bass. Chironomids, scuds and small nymphs (size 16 to 20) fished either right above the bottom or just under the surface appear to be working. Small dry flies are also working mid-morning and late afternoon.. This lake was recently stocked with approximately 2000 rainbow trout.

Fishing is fair to good here with good water levels. The usual worms, PowerBait or mealworms should all work. Small spinners and spoons should be good for spin fishermen. The usual black and olive wooly buggers, small chironomids, hares ears and pheasant tail nymphs are good starting points for fly rodders. Illipah was stocked with approximately 18,000 fish this spring.

Aquatic vegetation is still a problem around the shoreline, but the cooler morning temps has made fishing pleasant.

The bass and crappie are the most active, but a few trout are still biting in the morning. The fish are taking mostly worms, but a few trout are still taking powerbait in orange or green. Weeds are

Fishing has been great for some and slow for others. Anglers have been catching the bigger stripers on topwater lures like swimbait and poppers. If fishing in deep water, Jigs in 35-65 feet of water or dropping anchovies can help bring in striped bass or catfish. Imitation crawdads and drop-shot rigs can work well too.

Anglers heading to the lake late or early morning are having the best success on the lake. Striper boils are popping up throughout the lake in the evening. Black bass have been caught on whopper ploppers out of Callville. Find a good cove with good underwater vegetation, the fish will bite, just find what they like. Usually one lure works for one person different than

Bass fishing is fair to almost good as the hot weather has the water warming up. The good news is that approximately three fourths of the fish caught are keepers. With water levels up the bass are spread out more so anglers need to move until they find them. Dark plastic four to six inch grubs with sparkles in them seem to be

Surface water temperatures areabove 70 degrees and fishing for trout is still pretty good.
