Howard is scheduled to be stocked with 7,500 legal-size rainbow this week so fishing should be good this weekend.

The gate to the Willow Point campground is open to provide a parking lot for anglers to access Howard Prairie. The boat ramp at the resort is open and a restroom will be open. The standard day use fee applies.

The access road to the dam remains locked. Anglers can still walk the shoreline and fish the point to the south of the dam. No open water was spotted here earlier in the week. There is good bank access via BLM property on the NW side of the lake via the Keno Access Road.
