Conditions are excellent for trout fishing. The lake will stocked in the next week or two with some trophy trout. There is already a good population of carryover trout from last year.‌

Slow trolling with a wedding ring spinner tipped with worms or other type of bait can be very effective. Good numbers of rainbow trout carry over in the lake, along with cutthroat. The best way to fish the lake is by boat, as there is limited shore access. ‌

The 12th street boat ramp has an improved ramp and docks. With higher water in the spring, the walkway onto the boat dock can be covered by water so anglers will need rubber boots to access the dock. Anglers will want to check the weather before heading out, as the lake can be very windy.
