Latest fishing report
A drawdown for dam work in 2026 and 2027 means that from July 2 to Dec. 31 the limit is eight trout of any species and spearfishing is open. Summer outlook: tiger trout are plentiful and bite early and late along shore; rainbows hold deep or near the inlet. Winter fish survival may be lower.
Falling water will make boat access harder and leave muddy conditions.
This report is more than 60 days old. Conditions have likely changed.
