Fishing should be great this spring with limited fishing pressure last season

The main parking area and new visitors center has reopened. Fishing should be great this spring with limited fishing pressure last season. Access is good and should continue to be unless we see some significant spring snowfall. Anglers can expect rainbow trout averaging 10 inches with an occasional tiger trout coming in slightly larger. Spooner has been fishing well and should continue to until the shoreline vegetation takes over in early summer. Chub populations continue to be an issue with some up to 12 inches eating flies and lures. Try moving to deeper water if you’re getting grabs but not hooking up, or only find that you’re hooking chub. Bait fishing is best from the surface using a bobber to suspend bait above the vegetation. Spin fishing is great from shore in the spring if you can cover some water.
