Rainbow trout fishing should be good from shore. Lake trout fishing fair to good. Linwood Bay re-opened to 24 hour fishing on Dec. 16 and is a good bet. These flows are limited to a maximum flow of 2,300 cfs, and generally occur between 5 and 9 p.m. After December, flows should remain at 1,000 cfs. Fishing has been good with light pressure.
Midges continue to provide afternoon surface action.
Try Griffith's Gnat and simple or mating midge patterns, 18-24. Always check ice condition before venturing out. Able to get in Dec. 23 but snow Dec. 24 and 25 may have blocked access. Report good fishing for both bass and bluegill. Ice condition variable.
