This alpine gem was stocked the week of August 3 and is fishing well. Shore anglers are doing best near the cove by the boat ramp, while trollers are picking up nice rainbows at 8–15 feet using flashers tipped with a crawler. If you’re chasing big browns or mackinaw, target the trench in 40–60 feet with deep-running plugs like F-11 Rapalas. Lyman lures in brown trout, dill pickle, and watermelon are also pulling quality fish.
