Hydro power generation is now occurring sporadically. The lake is once again on the rise-4385′ is OK to fish if the hydro station is not hooked up. The river section will get washed out during power generation; but it makes the inlet section a good area to target from a tube. You will see significant amounts of debris on the surface due to rising levels/flows. Check out the dam section. I had a great report from my nephew James Mohr who fished the far side here and did great while nymphing. The largest planters of the year are now getting caught here. Tubing is the best way to get into some chunky Oregon rainbows, and CDFW brood fish. Fish the transition into the lake; or small river section below the powerhouse using dry/dropper rigs. If the power plant is not operating, the short river section has been best for numbers of smaller planted rainbows, with some wild browns. At current levels, the lake goes well back into the tress making access impossible. Stimulators, hi-vis para BWO’s, or hi-vis caddis may be used as the upper fly-use crystal olive caddis larva, flashback PT’s, Assassins, broken back or crystal tiger & zebra midges as your dropper bead head nymph. Tubing the section from the launch ramp, up to the inlet section is the best. Streamers like Loebergs, Agent Orange, Crystal leeches, & Spruce-A-Bu’s will get you into some decent browns, & fat holdover bows from a recent trout derby. Use a full sinking, or heavy sink tip line to get down 10-15 feet quickly. You can also fish “Crowley midge style” using an Under-cator strike detector in the rez proper near the drop-offs. Fish chironomid patterns below an Under-cator. Gillies, broken back midges, crystal emergers & pupa patterns. Tiger & zebra midges are always a solid choice for your larva pattern. The hydroelectric plant can operate at anytime. This can raise water levels quickly, & shut off a bite in the river section.
