No recent report, but expect this lake to also be covered in unsafe ice. If there is open water, he usual PowerBait and worms as well as small spinners were working for trout. Fly rodders should be using chironomids, hares ears, PT nymphs, copper Johns, and black or olive wooly buggers.
The reservoir is currently sitting at approximately 40 to 50% of capacity and is ice free. A total of 4,050 Rainbow Trout were stocked into the reservoir in 2020. Expect some skim ice along the shore in the mornings, but open water for much of the day.
Cave Lake is sitting approximately 15 feet below normal water levels. The lake is covered in unsafe ice. Due to safety issues with the dam, water is being kept low and with fluctuating water levels, expect unsafe ice for much of the winter.
Comins is covered with unsafe ice, though as of Wednesday, Dec. 2, there was a bit of open water at the north end. No recent report on fishing. With overnight lows hovering around 10 degrees, ice is here to stay, even though the daytime highs are expected to be in the 40’s to 50 degrees over the next week. The combination means that while there will continue to be ice, it will be a while before it is safe to fish on.
