Early spring run, with fish averaging 7-10lb. As water conditions
are generally high and the water is cold, spinning is more likely
to be successful, using spoons, large devons, or Flying Cs,
with a rod 10-12’. Fly fishing is possible with a 14-15’
rod, sinking line, and fairly large flies, including tubes and
waddingtons up to 3”. We do not allow use of worms or
natural baits in an effort to preserve stocks.

fly fishing comes into its own, with 14-15’ rods and sink-tip

or flying Cs.
