DWR report dated Sept. 18, 202653 days old, seasonal outlook
Fall outlook: with the lower water, fish should be more tightly grouped around the reservoir. DWR expects the rainbow trout bite to improve as fall moves along, with fish able to use shallower water as the lake chills, and says walleye should begin moving into shallower water in the early morning and evening to hunt rainbows.
