Small glo bugs have worked well. This stretch of river hadn't been electro-shocked since 1978 and recent survey showed excellent populations of trout. Water is low and clear and success has been good. Boat ramps are plowed and there is no ice on the reservoir. Reservoir was stocked with 50,000 catchable rainbow trout last month.
Success is good.
Reservoir's water level is quite low. Boat ramps are slick. Remember, fishers may now keep 10 perch. A 10-pound brown was recently caught on lower Hobble Creek. Fishing is good on both rivers with both flies and baits and fishing pressure is light due to the cold weather.
