is still fishing good in 10-16 feet of water. Damsels, Callibaetis and midges are still coming off strong. Stripping Damsels, and Callibaetis are wise choices .Perch fry are on the menu as well.

Report Date:
Water Conditions: The water is warming up quickly. The surface temps are averaging 63 degrees, and the daphnia bloom is starting to happen. The bloom temporarily slows fishing, as the fish feed on the daphnia instead of our midges. The fishing should get really good after the short bloom, as it does every year. Fishing Conditions and Hatches: The fly fishing has been below average this week. However, the trolling and bait fisherman have been doing much better.......

Opening Update Welcome fisherfolks..... Bridgeport Reservoir survived the opening weekend...And what a weekend it was......Everyone was safe..... Most everyone caught fish and the weather was great!!! The water level is a bit low but that should fix itself soon with warm temps on the horizon... Somewhere.....Lots of Brown trout and Rainbows.....Fish are scattered throughtout the lake..Water temps are still cold,(47 to 53 degrees on the surface) so fish are seeking wherever it is warm....Maybe towards the surface...Most folks are trolling either with......
