Water temps are slowly beginning to dip back into the low-to-mid 60s which will improve trout fishing within the coming weeks. Algae is still dispersed across much of the reservoir, with some areas thicker than others. Aquatic weed growth has impeded shoreline fishing in some coves, but there are still areas shoreline anglers can fish around it. Best catch rates for shoreline anglers will be in the early morning until daytime temperatures remain consistently lower. Boaters are reporting decent catch rates in deeper water, but consistent afternoon winds have been problematic. Trout are averaging 16″ to 22″. Try throwing small, flashy spinners or night crawlers combined with PowerBait fished off the bottom. Fly anglers are reporting luck with a variety of midges, balanced leeches and small nymphs.

Bass anglers are reporting good catch rates. Both crankbaits and bladed jigs are getting hit. Soft plastics in green pumpkin, watermelon and other darker varieties are working well too. Special regulations: Beginning July 1, anglers may keep one black bass 15 inches or longer.
