With rivers high and muddy, anglers looking to catch a few trout can try trolling the lake. 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. Anglers will want to check the weather before heading out, as the lake can be very windy.
