Winter returned to the lake last week bringing morning temps in the low 20’s and off and on snow. The last few days however have been beautiful out on pond featuring cool starts but warm flat afternoons. With the milder conditions came an increase in traffic on and around the lake. Water temps that were locked in the low 40’s have now inched upward and are exceeding 50 most days. Lake level edged up slightly now sitting at 4484 feet. Despite these cold conditions early this week some bug hatches are happening, and trout have begun to transition from an all pond smelt diet to the readily available aquatic insects. It was a mix of average to “battleship” sized Browns and some impressive Rainbows this week, more and more Bows should begin to show as they finalize their spawning efforts. The weatherman says it’s back to “less than spring like weather” for a few days before warming up again next week. This is a fun time of year, multiple options around the lake allowing for the use of several techniques to get the rods to bend. There are a few open days on the schedule, don’t miss your chance to get in on the exciting spring fishing. Book Your Fishing Trip Now!
