Surface water temperature was 40 degrees with no ice. With improved water level and the cold weather killing the aquatic vegetation, shore angling has improved. Trout fishing is fair to good and bass fishing is slow. The usual PowerBait and worms as well as small spinners are working for trout. Fly rodders should be using chironomids, hares ears, PT nymphs, copper Johns, and black or olive wooly buggers.
