Rainbow trout are available and fishing for bass and panfish should be good. Remember that it is easy to cast too far for bass and panfish at Selmac. Many of these fish can be caught (and even seen) fairly close in. With the warm, sunny weather, fishing will be best early and late in the day. With the warm weather, the trout will likely be found in the deeper areas of the lake.

Lake Selmac has a lot of aquatic vegetation this time of the year around the shores. Road construction at the dam requires a detour via Deer Creek road in order to access Lake Selmac Resort on Lake Shore Drive and the Trout Loop. The South Shore boat ramps can still be accessed via Lakeshore Drive.
