Special Notices & Closures
Fishing Report for the week of 06/15/2026
Walleye fishing has been good inside the Canyon, near Willow and Cottonwood Creek, and near the Clay Banks while jigging with crawlers or using slip bobbers and leeches. Fishing for walleye during the late evening hours has been productive. A few perch are being caught throughout the reservoir while searching for walleye. Good numbers of rainbow trout continue to be caught throughout the reservoir while trolling flashers and spinner combos around 15-20 feet deep. Fly fishing on the upper end of the reservoir with midge nymphs and using worm and marshmallows from shore at Departure Point and other public boat ramp areas has been producing a few trout as well. A few kokanee are being picked up near the Dam while trolling dodgers and hoochies or wedding rings tipped with corn at least 40 to 50 feet deep. Some kokanee anglers are doing well during the early morning hours.
