Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: cooling water should clear out the summer algae, and trout then feed actively to bulk up ahead of winter. DWR expects fair to good tiger trout fishing with natural baits, lures and flies. Cutthroat trout stay active all day, and shore anglers can catch them.
Kokanee may not be kept at Electric Lake or its tributaries from Sept. 10 to Nov. 30.
This report is more than 60 days old. Conditions have likely changed.
