The Knoll Lake campground is closed for the winter. The reservoir level has dropped and the boat launch is no longer in the water. A large log at the end of the ramp is also blocking access to the lake. It is not possible to launch a trailered boat at this time. Only boats with a single electric motor are allowed on Knoll Lake. No gas-powered motors. This is a good time of year to troll small lures (1/12 to 1/4-ounce) like inline spinners and spoons in gold, silver, and copper for rainbow trout. For fly anglers, a Prince Nymph, Pheasant Tail, or black Simi-Seal Leech would be a good place to start. Knoll Reservoir is one of the first waters to ice over in the winter season and may not be fishable at this time.
