Fishing is slow for trout with dropping reservoir levels and warming summer surface temps. Trout anglers will want to try trolling, with a good bet being a wedding ring/bait combination early in the morning. Fishing with bait from shore in the upper reservoir should also produce. Smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing should be good on small and regular Senkos fished off the points and boulder areas. The lake is 40 percent full. The Hart-Tish, Copper, and French Gulch boat ramps are available. Hart-Tish is probably the most accessible boat ramp at this point with the lowering reservoir level, however all three are still operable.
