Harrison Pass is open. Fishing should be fair to good for trout, and will pick up when the spring stockings occur. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch. Fly anglers are reporting success with dark-colored streamer patterns, as well as your favorite nymph pattern (pheasant tail, gold-ribbed hares ear, etc.). Small, flashy spinners are the go-to for spin anglers.

Special Regulations: Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. Minimum size for black bass is 10 inches. Non-motorized boats and boats propelled by gas motors 10hp or less are permitted August 1-December 31
