***Fishing Report***

Lake Trout - Lake trout fishing has been up and down for angler this last week. One day trout are on the graph all day. Next day, same spot, it’s the dead sea. When trout are on the graphs, anglers are catching them with 1/2 to 3/4oz bucktails and tubes.  Best colors have been red/white, blue and pink. Interestingly, when anglers fishing humps and point are struggling, anglers fish deep water are making lots of trout. Seems to be little rhyme or reason to when this happens, but it’s happening. If your not marking at you usual spots, try deeper.

Eelpout - Eelpout activity has slowed as we have passed the February full moon. Eelpout continue to be caught, but the bite has largely been at night or very early in the morning or late in the day. Heavy jigs and spoons loaded with minnow chunks have been the bait to have for eelpout.

Stream trout - Rainbow trout have been active on area stream trout lakes. Best times have been very early in the morning. Small flies, tipped with wax worms has been very effective on these trout. Anglers have been finding trout very close to downed trees.
