Conditions:

The reservoir provides great opportunities for quality lake trout and northern pike. Rainbow trout provide the bulk of the catch for many anglers and fishing can be especially good right after ice off as hungry overwintered rainbows ramp up feeding activity.

Be a Pain in the ANS!

If you use water, aquatic nuisance species (ANS) can affect you. For example, Zebra and quagga mussels clog up the infrastructure that delivers water to our homes. Keeping invasive species under control is a matter of public health.
