STEINAKER: Good fishing for rainbows and a few browns have been taken. Anglers are just starting to report catching only a few scattered bass and bluegill. This is because normal spring activity was set back by the cooler weather and high winds.

Southeastern Region

JOE'S VALLEY: Fair to good for 10- to 14-inch trout. The best shore fishing south of the dam on the rocky east side.

LAKE POWELL: Visit www.wayneswords.com for the latest fishing report. Sporadic fishing for stripers. Small and largemouth bass fishing was fair to good for smaller fish. Anglers had success with grubs and crankbaits in the darker colors. Black sparkle was especially good.

MILLSITE STATE PARK: Fishing is fair. The best baits have been green PowerBait or nightcrawlers with a green marshmallow.

SCOFIELD: Good fishing, despite the inclement conditions. Best success using redside shiners. Egg sacs continue to be effective. The Jake's Spin-a-Lure is a good lure for this water.

Southern Region

BAKER: Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked and fishing is fair to good using bait, lures and flies.

BOULDER MTN. LAKES: Access is opening to a few mid-elevation lakes. Access to the Boulder Top will probably not open until mid-June or later.

CHALK CREEK: Wild rainbows are abundant and can be caught with spinners and flies. Best fishing is away from the campground and more heavily fished spots.

ENTERPRISE: Catchable rainbows have been stocked in the lower reservoir. The upper reservoir will not be stocked this year. The reservoir will not be filled past its current level because work on the dam will not be finished until later this summer.

FISH LAKE: Good to excellent for 13- to 17-inch splake by jigging just off the weedline in 15 to 30 feet. Try Kastmasters or any light-colored jig tipped with perch, sucker, or chub meat. Recent sampling found that the average size and condition of splake has improved over the last two years.

FORSYTH: Recent sampling found that tiger trout and splake are abundant and in good condition. Good numbers of 20-inch tigers are present. Fishing is fair to good from shore with lures and streamers.

GUNLOCK: Fishing is slow.
