There is ice in the coves, but still plenty of open water for fishing. Boats may be launched this weekend, but the dock is no longer in the water. However, with much colder temperatures forecast for next week, expect the lake to start freezing over. The forecast calls for one to three inches of snow on Monday. Expect the usual chironomids, leech patterns and wooly buggers are still the best bet for fly anglers but the usual nymph assortment of copper Johns, hares ears, and pheasant tails should also work. Bait anglers have been catching fish with worms or rainbow or sherbet PowerBair. Small spinners have also been effective. The lake level is still holding at 50% capacity. Wildhorse was stocked approximately 50,000 trout this fall. Stocking is done here for the year.
