BEAR CANYON LAKE - Fishing is  good for stocked trout. Catchable-size rainbow trout will be stocked this week. Anglers are catching fish on Power Bait and night crawlers.  This is a hike-in lake. There is plenty of shoreline access, but it is best fished from a float tube or kayak.

BLACK CANYON LAKE - Fishing is fair for stocked trout. Anglers  have been catching trout on Power Bait and night crawlers.  This lake also contains largemouth bass and green sunfish – please catch and keep all you can of these illegally-stocked warm-water species, there is no limit on them.

CHEVELON LAKE -- Fishing is fair at this hike-in lake. The lake is open to artificial lures and flies only and trout between 10 and 14 inches may not be possessed. The daily bag and possession limit is 6 trout. It is illegal to use bait here. Two anglers reported great success fishing from float tubes using both fly and spinning gear.

WILLOW SPRINGS LAKE - Fishing is fair to good. The lake will be stocked this week and nearly every week throughout the summer with catchable-size rainbow. Anglers have been catching these trout on Power Bait, night crawlers, and small lures. This lake also has largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and crappie -- please catch and keep all you can of these illegally-stocked warm-water species, there is no limit on them. 

WOODS CANYON LAKE - Fishing is fair to good for stocked trout. The lake was stocked last week and will be stocked again this week. Large sized (1to 8-pound) incentive rainbow trout were stocked in early July in addition to the normal catchable-size trout.  A recent report indicated that trout were biting well on slowly trolled small Rebel crankbaits, Crickhoppers, spinners, and cowbells with an attached worm or fly.  Trolling Super Dupers or cowbells is popular here. The store is open and boat rentals are available. Be aware of a bald eagle nesting closure on the southwest side of the lake.
