Water temperatures are dropping into the high 50s. Water clarity has improved, and weeds are beginning to die off at the southern portion of the reservoir. With the cooler water temps, trout fishing will begin picking up. Trout are hitting combinations of PowerBait and worms fished off the bottom, as well as flashy spinners. Fly anglers are having success with nymph, midge and leech patterns, or streamers off the dam.
Bass action is just beginning to slow down. Spinnerbaits and jigs are working well from the boat and shore, especially around cover. Special regulations: Starting July 1, anglers may keep one black bass 15 inches or longer.
