Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: trout stocking typically resumes in late September once water quality improves and runs into late November, with good to great fishing. Trout hold deep in September, then feed at all depths as it cools. Spinners, spoons, jigs, flies, nightcrawlers and dough bait all work.
Waterfowl hunting is allowed here; the youth hunt opens Sept. 30 and the general season Oct. 14, so expect hunters and gunfire.
