Shoreline anglers are having the best luck with trout hitting orange PowerBait, or nymph, midge and leech patterns on a fly rod. Streamers are being hit hard off the dam. Below the dam, fly anglers are finding trout in the pools downstream of the spillway. Expect bass and catfish catches to pick up soon with the warmer weather. Special regulations: March 1 – June 30 is catch and release only for black bass.
