South Fork is now ice free and fishing has started to pick up. Last weekend several anglers reported good luck both on the west side at Jet Ski Beach and in the main boat ramp cove on the east side of the lake. The fish being caught were averaging between 16 and 20 inches with a number of them coming in over 20 inches. Most anglers are having some success with PowerBait or worms, while fly rodders should be using chironomids, hares ears, prince nymphs and buggers. Sherbet PowerBait fished using a slip sinker off of the bottom about 25-30 feet from shore seemed to work the best.
