Fishing Report

Water temperatures are still warm and fishing for rainbow trout will continue to improve as we move into fall. Aquatic vegetation is dense and will limit some access for anglers, particularly when fishing from shore. Tonkin Reservoir was stocked at the beginning of summer with rainbow trout. Anglers should expect most rainbow trout to be 14-16 inches with 18-20 inch fish available. Fly fishing with woolly bugger and similar patterns and midges will be effective fly choices.

Special Regulations: Artificial lures only. Stream above reservoir is closed to fishing. Only boats without motors or boats with electric motors are permitted.
