Recent sampling showed black and now white crappie are quite abundant but most of them are less than six inches long. There are some nice holdover rainbow trout available up to 18 inches and some Lahontan cutthroat that were stocked last year that are now around 10 inches.

Fishing should be great for holdover trout this spring and crappie as water temperatures warm
