The campground is currently closed due to the Falls Fire which occurred last summer but fishing has been great for holdover trout this year. Fishing from the bank using a variety of methods has been effective. Angling from a boat or float tube is also a great way to get into some hot trout action in tougher areas to fish from shore throughout the reservoir.
