There is still a large mass of ice covering approximately 75% of the reservoir. With warmer temperatures around the corner, the rest of the ice could come off quickly. The reservoir is sitting at approximately 90% of capacity. Anglers can access the reservoir from the west and fish the entire western shoreline. Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, spinners, wet flies, and PowerBait.
The road is closed, and the lake is ice covered. There will be no fishing reports for this lake until late spring or early summer depending upon the winter.
With snow on the mountains only the most experienced backcountry travelers should attempt to reach the lakes. The lakes are frozen, and fishing is done until summer. There will be no more fishing reports for the high alpine lakes until late spring or early summer depending upon the winter.
Snow, ice, and muddy bank conditions are making fishing difficult. Stream flows are still low, especially for this time of year, and fishing in most streams is slow. As of April 1, the East Fork of the Owyhee was flowing at 64 cfs, the Bruneau River up significantly to 76 cfs, the Jarbidge is flowing at 13 cfs(access through Idaho), Salmon Falls Creek at 77 cfs, Lamoille Creek at 5.5 cfs, the South Fork at 12 cfs, Cleve Creek at 5.1 cfs, Steptoe Creek at 2.7 cfs and Kingston Creek at 2.7 cfs.
