[#000000]
The water level has come up just a bit and trout fishing is fair with most of the fish being caught in early morning and late evening. Close to the dam is still the best bet with some large browns showing up. Most are being caught trolling worms behind flashers. Shore fisherman are still having fair to good luck using rainbow or green powerbait or worms. Fly fisherman should try a large midge pattern (black body, white antron wings and tail) on a number 10 streamer hook. Other favorite patterns include wooly worms in olives, blacks and bloods; grasshoppers and damsel fly nymphs. Use plastic gear or crank baits and fish the rocky shores and points for bass. Worms and power bait are working well. One bass, 15 inches or longer may be kept. [/#000000][/#ff0000][/size] [center]
