Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation

No recent report from Wilson, but expect similar conditions as at South Fork Reservoir.  Expect a fair amount of algae and dropping water levels due to irrigation. The best trout fishing should be from a float tube or a small cartop boat or canoe as the boat ramp is out of the water and unusable. Shore anglers should have some luck in the canyon by the dam as the water is deeper and cooler there. Use the same techniques as at South Fork Reservoir.  Fly fishermen seem to be having the best luck using leech, wooly buggers and chironomids.  Damselfly nymphs are working as well.  Bass is good though mostly smaller fish were being reported. Again, anglers should use the same presentations, colors and techniques that are being used at South Fork Reservoir – dark soft plastic grubs and crankbaits.  Poppers can be effective during low light still water conditions.
