Howard Prairie is 77 percent full. Bait fishing, casting from shore, and trolling are all good techniques. Larger trout can be caught on Powerbait fished about 2 ft off the bottom. Trolling a variety of lures with a worm can at depth can also be productive this time of year. County boat ramps are all closed for the season, but the gravel boat launch by the dam should be available.

Remember to remove all vegetation from gear, boots and boats before leaving Howard Prairie.
