Current Lake Conditions:
Anglers will contend with icy snow getting into this lake. Bring shovels, chains, a wench, 2-ton come-a-longs, a hi-lift jack and don't go alone. The fishing has been great!
The rainbows and browns in this lake are eating midges suspended under small indicators, San Juan Worms, Clouser Minnows fished on Type 7 full sinking lines.

The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
You can attack this lake either one of two ways, Indicator and nymphs or sinking lines and streamers. The midge hatches are usually strong and fishing a Blood Midge with a Black Midge Pupa dropper is deadly. For those who want to cast and retrieve flies, Leeches and Bugger style flies work great. Clouser Minnows are a fantastic fly on Iron Canyon! Fishing a #16 BH PT Nymph on the end of a tapered leader attached to a floating line is an all time best way to find fish here. Once flies are cast, use a very slow retrieve, just move the line enough to stay tight to the fly and feel the thuds of the take!
Reservoir Fact:
The nearby town of Big Bend has many geothermal hot springs nearby. Some of the hot wells are used to heat the local School, public swimming pool and a green house. Hmmm. Don't hesitate to stop by the local grocery store, gas station called the Pit Stop.
