This winter anglers have had good catches of 10 to 12-inch rainbows. Anglers caught crappie some of which have been nice. Crappie anglers may be successful if they try fishing near the base of the dam with small jigs. Ice fishing may be good while the weather remains cold, but ice conditions can deteriorate quickly with warmer weather.
