Anglers continue to report excellent kokanee fishing with fish averaging 13 inches and good trout fishing with some very nice Rainbow and Brown Trout being caught. Flyfishing with beetle and ant patterns can be productive on warm summer afternoons. Catch-and-release anglers are encouraged to check surface water temperatures throughout the day and follow best practices for angling and fish handling in hot water (see above).

Open to fishing all year. Anglers can now keep 5 kokanee in addition to daily trout limit.
