The level has finally dropped making access good along the transition section from the creek to the lake. Watch the mud after it thaws, it is very dangerous and you can really get stuck and literally lose your boots! Morning midge hatches are excellent with a good afternoon baetis emergence. The riffle water just below the powerhouse is also fishing great using dry/dropper bead head nymph rigs. Tubing has also been great near the inlet and launch ramp. Stillwater nymphing is seldom done here this time of year but is very productive along the drop-offs on the west side opposite the access road. Plenty of midges in this area and you rig as would on Crowley. 10 feet is a good depth to start right now. Try the broken back midges here, they rock.
