The lake level is still low due to irrigation but is slowly recovering as irrigation use has stopped. This lake like others has mats of algae floating in spots.  Fishing has been slow to fair for trout. The best fishing is first thing in the morning.  For bait anglers nightcrawlers and rainbow PowerBait are the best bet. Small spinners, spoons and Kastmasters in gold for those throwing hardware should work but allow plenty of time for them to sink deep into the water before starting the retrieve.  Black or olive wooly buggers and black, olive or wine-colored leech patterns may catch a few trout. Dry fly patterns may be tried very early in the morning or late in the evening especially where the creek empties into the reservoir. Anglers should fish deeper as the trout move down in the water column to find cooler oxygen rich water.
