Steelhead are in the system. Use intermediate to 300 grain sink-tips with dark leech and steelhead patterns. Best access is from the Forks to Hwy 1 bridge, but it can get crowded. Try walking upstream of the Forks, or walking downstream from Annapolis Rd. Reservoir Clear, cold.
Fishing is fair.
Best action is with sinking lines and streamers near the creek arms, boat launch, and dam areas. This neat lake is located near Big Bend and the Pit River. Fishing is good. The rainbows and browns are keying in on midge pupa - fished 3 feet under on indicator, or retrieve very slowly. Midge hatch is sporadic, but may have a few trout working the dries.
