Latest fishing report

DWR report dated Sept. 4, 202667 days old, seasonal outlook

Fall outlook: summer crowds thin out after Labor Day, and plenty of rainbow trout will be left over. They will get even more active as temperatures cool and fishing pressure eases. DWR expects good to excellent fishing, particularly as the water cools, and popular flies, lures and baits should all catch fish.

This report is more than 60 days old. Conditions have likely changed.
