For any of you planning a trip out to the Basin, don't put Steinaker on your list of fishing destinations for now. As many know, the reservoir has been drained for dam repairs, but a small pool of water remained and fish were surviving. However, with little inflow, oxygen levels have been depleted and a substantial fish kill was observed last Monday 02/11/19. DWR cut several large holes in the ice to allow for fresh water/oxygen from slush on the ice to enter the main water body to hopefully save some fish. Time will tell, hope for the best!
