Trout fishing has been slow over the past couple of weeks. With somewhat warmer temperatures coming up the bite should start to pick up. Trout anglers have had the best success trolling lures in the deeper areas of the reservoir, but on warmer days trout may be closer to the surface. Trout are scheduled to be stocked early next week at Ben Irving.
Warmwater fishing should be decent as well. Try fishing for bass at the head of the reservoir and shallow structure in the mid-morning and late afternoon hours using a slow retrieve.
