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

ENTERPRISE (UPPER AND LOWER): Catchable rainbows have been stocked in the lower reservoir. The upper will not be stocked this year due to continued repair work on the dam.

FISH LAKE: Fast action for perch in and just outside the weeds. Try jigs tipped with worms or perch meat. Trolling for rainbows using popgear is good to excellent. Many nice rainbows have been caught. A few splake are caught trolling at 60-70 feet.

MINERSVILLE: Trout fishing has picked up a little, but the fish are skinny and easily stressed due to warm water.

NEWCASTLE: Wiper success has picked up recently and was fast for short periods. Don't be surprised to have good fishing one day and get skunked the next.

OTTER CREEK: Trolling is good to excellent for rainbows with Jake's, flatfish and crankbaits. Stillfishing from boats is also productive when you use PowerBait or a worm and marshmallow combination. Shore fishing was slow to fair.

PANGUITCH LAKE: Fishing from boats — both trolling and stillfishing — is producing well. Shore fishing is slow to fair. More and more fish near 22 inches are being caught.

SAND HOLLOW: Bass fishing is good to excellent. Small fish are found just about everywhere, while large fish are found closer to brush and rock edges or in deeper water.
