Anglers fishing the collection ditch are reporting fair to good angling for trout with trout over 20 inches being reported. Fall stocking has also increased angler success at the south springs. Fly anglers are reported success with pheasant tail nymphs, copper johns, midges and streamers. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin anglers. Bass fishing is done for the season. Special Regulations:  Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. No wading allowed in the collection ditch.
