Unfortunately the poor production would be all the bait fisherman that don't care for the rules there and keep more then they are allowed . I inform of the rules to at least one group Everytime I go . The lake does not get stocked every year either

I fished it for the first time yesterday and had great success dragging a woolly bugger around. I had consistent bites and lots of misses. Maybe the afternoon/evening bite is better? I'm no expert though haha. Nice big rainbows in there! Flyrod with a sink tip and changing my speed seemed to trigger the bites. I do C&R, unless I see one bleeding. It's nice to have a selective fishery around here, but yes the marshmallow/powerbait bankers are an issue. I did see another fisherman tell some of them off as soon as I arrived yesterday...thanks! I saw those loons as well!! Pretty cool. And there are a ton of ospreys around as well. Nice wildlife and location out there. Definitely worth more trips.
