Stocking was delayed this month due to high water. Updates to when the lake will be stocked, will be in the Recreation Report. ‌

ODFW recently surveyed the lake and found good numbers of trout in the lake. The lake is pretty high, but conditions are good for finding some trout cruising the weed lines. Slow trolling with a wedding ring spinner tipped with worms or other type of bait can be very effective. Good numbers of rainbow trout carry over in the lake, along with cutthroat. The best way to fish the lake is by boat, as there is limited shore access. ‌

The 12th street boat ramp has an improved ramp and docks. With higher water in the spring, the walkway onto the boat dock can be covered by water so anglers will need rubber boots to access the dock. Anglers will want to check the weather before heading out, as the lake can be very windy.
