South Fork is completely ice free and boats can be launched at the main boat ramp on the northeast side of the lake though the dock is still out of the water. The concrete boat ramp at Coyote Cove is out of the water so is unusable. Little has changed in fishing conditions and while some days produce fish, others have not. Fishing has been fair to good for spin, bait and fly rodders with most anglers fishing from Jet Ski Beach or on the northeast side of the lake. Bait anglers seem to be having the best luck with worms floated off of the bottom about 20-30 feet from shore. Spin anglers report good luck with gold Kastmasters and spinners. Fly fishermen report that fishing has also been fair to good for trout in the 12 to 18-inch range. Fishing is variable with some days an angler lucky to catch one or two fish and other days able to land five to 10 trout. Most are being caught with chironomid (midge larva) patterns fished under an indicator. Black, olive or purple wooly buggers and leech patterns have also caught fish. However, brown or root beer colored wooly buggers and leeches with some flash seem to be working the best. A few bass are being reported.
