Surface water temps are climbing into the mid-50’s, approaching prime trout fishing conditions. Multiple stockings of rainbow trout have occurred over the last month, with most fish averaging 9 inches. Anglers are seeing plenty of trout action near the dam. Mid-morning through early afternoon has been best for trout fishing with reports of fish up to 5 lbs. Focus on the shallows where the trout will be cruising the warmer waters for insects. On windy days, observe the direction of the wind to determine where food sources will be accumulating in the coves and outcroppings. Balanced leeches, woolly buggers and midges are the go-to flies for fly anglers. Orange PowerBait or worms floated off the bottom are working for spin casters. Bass fishing is just beginning to pick up and will improve as water temps climb into the 60s.
