It’s the First day of spring!
Many of the reservoirs in the area are starting to open up, with these ice off conditions there is a great opportunity for good fishing!
Millmeadow Res.
The ice is breaking up again near the dam and the inlets are opening up this is a great time to target this Reservoir and the wild Browns that live there, in addition there are a good number of rainbow trout hold overs from last year that are available, we’ve also picked up some tiger trout and splake.
Forsyth Res.
Ice is starting to look pretty sloppy, there is some open water at the springs, it’s been hit and miss there for us, with one day catching 10 or 15 and the next 0!
Lower Bowns.
Access is possible with a high clearance vehicle four wheel drive is recommended, as the road is still wet and in some places there was still snow. The reservoir was completely open water.
Koosharem Res.
The ice was coming off fast with lots of open water! This is the time to target this reservoir in our experience! The cutthroat seem to have made a come back compared to the last couple of years.
Otter creek.
Ice was off and there were boats on the water! There have been a few good reports of some big rainbows being caught using traditional midge below an indicator rig!


Get out there and enjoy the ice off conditions!

Mill meadow still had good ice on the north end most of the rest of the lake is still unsafe!
Also visited Forsyth, it’s full and spilling, there was lots of open water, I did notice a couple guys on the ice, I’m not sure how thick it was.
Fishlake has a very thin layer of ice. And good ice on the extreme north and south ends.

Both thousand lake mtn . And Boulder mtn got about 3 inches of snowdrop earlier storms, making access more difficult,
This new storm has also been dumping extra snow on top of that., there is another storm expected Thursday that could ad more.
Lower Bowns had about 7 inches of ice on the north west end of the lake, fishing was good for us there, 15 inch rainbows and Tigers.
