The fishing should be only fair for small rainbow trout but fishing deep with triple trasers from boats shoud produce some good catches of kokanee salmon. A graduate student of U.S.U. in cooperation with the Division of Wildlife Resources is continuing a study on various strains of rainbow trout at Porcupine.
