Snow may have accumulated this week, but the road remains open. Anglers are catching trout in the 10″ range. Green PowerBait and worms are the go-to here for bait anglers. Fly anglers switching from dry flies to small leech, bugger and chironomid patterns. Float-tubers and kayakers are having the best luck against the rocks and brush on the backside of the lake.
