Inaccessible due to fire.

The reservoir was recently stocked with 4,000 rainbow trout. Trolling lures or flies will do a great job catching fish in this clear reservoir. Bait fishing with PowerBait or worms is also a proven method for putting fish on a stringer.

Recent fishing reports that hybrid bass fishing has been hit or miss, which is very usual for these fish. Bait fishing for wipers is usually more successful, but trolling can be an effective method. Rapalas that imitate tui chub and rainbow trout, favorite food sources for hybrid bass, are good bets for catching these fish. On sunny days you will need to troll deeper than cloudy days.
