Cut-throat Trout are here, but difficult to catch because they are natives.

I haven't caught an trout here, but have heard others have caught some. I tried using lures for one hour during mid-day but did not caught any. Lower Kinney Lake nearby has plenty of Cut-throat Trouts.

The water is much murkier than usual right now, with little to no action during the day. Fish during night for the best results.

I went fishing last Saturday, and couldn't get anything but a bluegill to bite. It was pretty warm out so I am guessing the fish were pretty deep, and I tried everything still no results. The topwater action was good, but they just wouldn't hit anything. I can usually get something on a spinnerbait pretty early, not this time

7/2/10-7/3/10 3 of us fished from 6:00pm - 1:00am.Very tough. Had one hook up, and one bite on brushhog. Crawdads did not produce. Fish are suspended in 25-50ft of water near dropoffs and rock banks due to water temp increase.

fishing upriver past Rainbow Bridge is the only way i know to catch a fish at this lake. There are only a few decent spots off shore to do this, however, and really only one spot to fish from shore on the southeastern side.

07-06-10 Fished a small tournament with 11 fishermen from 6:00pm-9:00pm. None weighed in a keeper fish. Fish are still suspended over deep water and not feeding agressively. Tried many types of baits- Cranks, Worms, Jigs, Swim baits, But nothing produced a strike. Good Luck to everyone...
