Water temperatures are at 48F.  Water levels are recovering following summer irrigation season.  A total of 5,715 rainbow trout averaging 8.6 inches were stocked this fall.  Shoreline fishing continues to be good, with anglers easily catching 4 to 5 fish per hour. Watercraft will allow anglers to access more diverse areas of reservoir and fish deeper water. Recent angler contacts revealed rainbow trout in the 10-to-14 inch range being caught.  A few brown trout have been contacted, normally between 6 and 10 inches, however, one angler recently caught a nice 18-inch brown.
