The fishing on the Reservoir toughened up a bit this week with the most successful an anglers reporting 2 or 3 fish per half day. It sounds like the best method for success has been bait fishing from a boat over near Rainbow Point, the trolling is still producing some nice fish but not as many as the bait anglers. We talked to a couple fly anglers who did some streamer stripping down near the dam with no success. There’s been a fair number of browns being caught on the Res, most in the 1.5 to 2.5 lb range as well as some nice perch up to around 2.5 pounds. Each day we’re seeing some good rainbows up to around 5 pounds being caught as well. It sounds like the shore fishing has slowed up quite a bit with just a few fish here and there making a showing.
