Fishing is good. Best reports around Wino, Separator, and Blockhouse. A 7wt rod with a 250 grain shooting head is best to get a tui chub or bugger down. For a good yo-yo action, add a tadpole approximately 2ft behind a bugger. To get Lohanton Cutthroat trout on the bite, fish balanced leeches under an indicator in the chop. Pay close attention, as the takes are very soft. These cutts run from 2-10lbs, with several reports of real brutes.
