Mexican Fish Report

Fish Lake is stocked with rainbow trout and fishing has been good. Still fishing on the bottom with Powerbait continues to be one of the best options for shore based anglers, especially if water clarity is poor. Anglers are cautioned to limit catch and release angling for trout to reduce stress during the current heat wave. A portion of the rainbow trout have external parasites called copepods that can be scraped off the fish prior to cooking. Fish parasites do not pose a threat to people when cooked properly.

Brook trout, tiger trout, and stocked Chinook salmon are also available. With the lake warming up, look for fish to move toward the springs on the east end of the lake or to deeper areas. The reservoir is holding fairly steady at 68 percent full.
