Prosser Creek Reservoir is offering a solid mixed-bag bite this week. With water levels at about 95% and surface temperatures in the low 60s°F, conditions are favorable for both trout and bass. Shore anglers are doing well near the dam and Alder Creek Cove using PowerBait, worms, and salmon eggs, especially during the first and last light of the day. Fly anglers fishing under indicators with zebra midges or small nymphs are also seeing good results. Trolling is best in 25–30 feet of water close to shore using small spoons or faster-moving spinners. Fishing tends to slow down after 10 a.m., so early sessions are most productive.
