The lake is sitting at capacity and spilling water into the North Valley of Steptoe Valley Wildlife Management Area. Mostly ice free with lots of open water for fishing. Trout fishing has been fair to good for shore anglers using worms or PowerBait. Spring flies include black or olive wooly buggers, small hares ears and PT nymphs, chironomids and egg patterns. NDOW has implanted transmitters on several pike in an effort to track them.  If pike are caught with a transmitter antenna coming out of them, please return the pike to the lake.  Other non-tagged pike should be humanely dispatched immediately.
