Rainbow trout are available and fishing for bass and panfish should be good. Remember that it is easy to cast too far for bass and panfish at Selmac. Many of these fish can be caught (and even seen) fairly close in. As temperatures decrease the warmwater species should begin to be more accessible close to shore. Still the trout will likely be found in the deeper areas of the lake for a few more weeks.
Lake Selmac has a lot of aquatic vegetation this time of the year around the shores. Road construction at the dam requires a detour via Deer Creek road in order to access Lake Selmac Resort on Lake Shore Drive. Eagle Loop Campground is still open, but the Mallard Loop and Trout Shelter boat ramp is currently closed due to fire camp activity.
