Harrison Pass is open. Spring stocking has begun with rainbow trout stocked in Unit 21 and South Lakes. Trout in the 15″ t0 20″ range are being caught in the collection ditch. Fly anglers are reporting success with dark-colored streamer patterns, as well as your favorite nymph pattern (pheasant tail, gold-ribbed hares ear, etc.). Trout will start hitting dry flies as the weather warms up. Small, flashy spinners are the go-to for spin anglers.

Special Regulations: Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. Minimum size for black bass is 10 inches. Non-motorized boats and boats propelled by gas motors 10hp or less are permitted August 1-December 31
