The Reservoir is still fishing very well, the water temps are starting to increase and the fly fishing is picking up. For flies you can go with damsel patterns, callibaetis and midge patterns. It seems the best area to fish flies has been up in the Robinson and Buckeye channels, lots of indicator dunks going on up there.

For bait fishing you can fish the channels, right out in the middle, just off the marina and off Rainbow point and pick up fish. Most fish are ranging from about 1 pound to 4 pounds and are being caught on power bait, crawlers and power eggs. Trollers are still having great success trolling blades/crawlers, needlefish, ex-cel lures and small rapalas.
