The reservoir is completely ice-free. Traditionally, some of the best fishing of the year occurs at this time, but that hasn't been the case this year. On April 6, Tom Robertshaw's party of three caught only chubs during their day of fishing. On April 3, one thread posted on BigFishTackle.com reported that a party of five caught 20 cutthroat trout. One tiger trout was also caught; it measured 24 inches and weighed 5.5 pounds. The party had been fishing with sucker meat and lures. DWR Aquatics Technician Mike Ault, who conducts regular creel surveys, describes fishing as slow. Mike indicated that the best fishing is at the mouth of the dam cove. The south side is best. Most of the trout that Mike checks are skinny cutthroats that range from 12-15 inches. On April 4, Mike checked a tiger trout caught on chub meat. It weighed 8.5 pounds and measured 27 inches. Anglers will have the best success while fishing from a boat. Try using chub meat, spoons, crankbaits, plastic grubs, nightcrawlers and fish eggs.
