The boat ramps are still accessible. The reservoir is about 40 feet lower than summer full pool. The reservoir was stocked with rainbow trout in the middle of March, Mid-April, and again in Mid-May A lower reservoir can mean the fish are concentrated and easier to target. Angling should be good in general, but bass angling is reportedly going very well.
