Opening day was slow due to cold water temperatures and drift of filamentous algae.  Fishing will improve for small resident redband trout as water temperatures increase. A drop in flow will also decrease the drift of filamentous algae.

Best fishing is near the town of Beatty. There is also plenty of public water along Sprague River highway. Flows are fishable at 567 cfs. Remember regulations have changed to a bag limit of one redband trout greater that 15 inches.
