The river coming into the lake continues to be somewhat high. We would suggest you take a look at water above Sims and Dunsmuir if you want to find a spot to fish on the Upper. This spring we are looking forward to some runoff early, but look for some good stonefly hatches in late April and through May. This river rocks the spring!
