Access still remains limited at Jackson Meadows due to some residual snow and muddy roads. Once accessible, anglers can expect red-hot early-season fishing for rainbows feeding aggressively post-winter. Shore fishing with small spoons, worms, kastmasters, and streamers will be the go-to offerings. It’s still to be determined if the boat launch will be open at Jackson Meadows Reservoir this season.
