Latest fishing report
Fall outlook: brown trout turn aggressive in fall ahead of spawning and can be caught on streamer and egg-pattern flies, spinners and Rapalas, or marabou and tube jigs. Fish spawn at different times, so DWR says a few are always in a pre-spawn aggressive phase or a post-spawn feeding phase.
This report is more than 60 days old. Conditions have likely changed.
