Ice often melts off this reservoir in March. As the snow melts and the reservoir fills, you can often expect the water to be murky or muddy near the inlet. Hungry rainbow trout often provide good fishing as the water temperature warms and triggers feeding. Standard bait fishing tactics typically produce success this time of year. Large tiger trout are often observed feeding in shallow water along the shoreline.
