Advice and Tips
To avoid the wind and get the best fishing in while you can, especially for float-tubes, the best times to fish the reservoir is during the early mornings and late afternoons.

For fly-fisherman some of the flies that we've found as a constant win for catching rainbows have been black and olive wooly buggers along with bead-head prince nymphs.

For shore fisherman, you can never lose with Power bait or worms. Don't forget about hot dogs too if you like fishing for Catfish.
