Ashurst Lake and Forked Pine campgrounds are open without fees, but also no services. One pit toilet by the boat launch will remain open. Access to Ashurst Lake will remain open until the first significant snowfall for the winter season (typically in December). Only boats with a single 10-horsepower motor (or less) or a single electric motor are allowed on Ashurst Lake. The limit is 4 trout. Northern pike and green sunfish were illegally introduced and are not managed for in Ashurst Lake. Northern pike and green sunfish are unlimited in Ashurst Lake, please kill any northern pike and green sunfish caught. Lure anglers have been finding success trolling small lures like Joe’s Flies and Kastmasters. Fly anglers are also catching fish on Wooly Buggers and Simi-seal leeches (black, brown, and olive). The lake level is low, but small boats and trailers can still launch. This is a good time to target the large hold-over trout that reside in Ashurst Lake.
