Trout fishing has been fair to good. Much of the middle and north end of the lake is covered in unsafe ice.  The north end of the lake is open for fishing, though there is ice in most areas where there are tules and cattails.  For trout, anglers should try Panther Martins, spoons, PowerBait, salmon eggs, and night crawlers. Fly fisherman should use wooly buggers, leech patterns, and nymphs patterns (midges, beaded pheasant tails…etc.).  It is also the time to use chironomid patterns under an indicator.  With the forecast cooler temperatures for the next 10 days, expect the lake to start icing up making fishing difficult.
