Water levels remain good, and boats can still be launched at the ramp. Boaters should use caution backing in trailers, however, as large rocks sit right off the bottom of the ramp. Water clarity is at 10+ft.  Fall trout stocking occured on 10/28/24. Trout fishing is picking up with the cool weather and fish are moving into the shallows. Try fishing worms and PowerBait fished off the bottom, or dark-colored wooly buggers for fly anglers. Bass fishing has mostly slowed, but anglers are still landing some catches with crankbaits near structure and vegetation. The road has been good condition with no washboard, but expect conditions to change and mud to be present with the recent precipitation.
