Spring stocking has begun. Rainbow trout were stocked this week in the collection ditch, Unit 21 and South Lakes. Tiger trout were also stocked in Unit 21. Fair to good fishing is being reported in the collection ditch for trout.  Water temperatures in the high 40 to low 50s, so bass fishing will still be slow. Fly anglers are reporting success with streamers, leeches and nymphs. Small, flashy spinners like Panther Martins are the go-to for spin anglers. Special Regulations: Artificial lures only in the collection ditch. No wading allowed in the collection ditch.
