No recent reports. Snow-capped ridges overlooking the reservoir currently offer some incredible scenery. Anglers may have some success targeting redband trout and crappie this winter. There are also some great chukar hunting opportunities here for those seeking a boat-in cast-and-blast experience.

Only 15 percent of water available for irrigation remains in the reservoir; view boat ramp elevations click here.
