Remember the limit is four trout. Only one can be more than 18 inches. Some ice has formed in the Rock Cliff arm of the reservoir but it is considered unsafe. A State Park ranger reports that shore anglers are averaging about one fish per hour using powerbaits or worms. The Ranger also reports that boaters are doing very well by simply trolling pop gear and a worm or drift fishing with worms or powerbait.
Campgrounds are closed.
Artificial flies and lures only. Several anglers have been seen using their new Christmas fly fishing equipment. Stay out of the river as much as possible to avoid crushing trout eggs. Only two brown trout under 15 inches may be kept. All rainbows and cutthroats must be immediately released.
