Fishing for perch is fast by jigging just off the weedline. Good success for rainbows trolling pop gear in 15 to 20 feet. Trolling for lake trout is slow to fair some action on the bottom in 70 feet. A few tiger muskies have moved up from Johnson Reservoir in the last year. The general statewide limits on tiger muskie apply here: one fish, which must be over 40 inches. BOULDER MTN LAKES: All lakes, including those on top, are now accessible. Some of the best reports are coming from Fish Creek Res., where fishing was good to excellent for splake and tiger trout. Cutthroats are also present. Fishing is good at Donkey Res. for small to medium-sized brook trout. Good success reported for brook trout and a few grayling at the Row Lakes using spinners. Jigging for splake is good at Blind Lake. Some nice rainbows are also being caught here. A standard technique at the brookie lakes is a black marabou jig fished near any cover. Wooly bugger, leech and scud patterns will also work. Special regulations on many of the Boulder Mountain waters include a trout limit of four of which only two may be over 14 inches.

Bag Select Varieties Western Family is considered a cutthroat). Don’t feel compelled to harvest fish on every trip. Please do your part to ensure the future of this heavily utilized fishery by voluntarily releasing fish! FERRON RESERVOIR: Fishing success was sporadic. A week ago, Ray Allred caught and released nine rainbows in two hours with an olive crystal bugger. The prescribed burn has made air quality conditions unpleasant for anglers. At Ferron Reservoir, anglers may take an extra four fish, if at least four of them are brook trout. SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: Moss has become a problem for fly and lure casters and trollers alike. Most trout have retreated to deeper colder water, which has reduced the catch rate for shore anglers. Due to frequent hatches of mayflies, damselflies and midges, the overall catch rate for all angler types has dropped there’s just too much natural food in the water. This past week, Tom Ogden used leeches in a variety of colors. His catch generally ranged from 13 to 19 inches, although his son landed a single 22-incher. The best fishing occurs in the early morning. Anglers, please avoid fishing in tributaries. They remain closed to fishing until July 14th in order to The First Word and Last Name in Log Homes!

STRAWBERRY RESERVOIR: (June 27) Shore anglers report fair success by using traditional baits, lures and flies. Early morning hours are best. Boat anglers are reporting good success for cutts and an occasional rainbow or kokanee by trolling various lures. Casting lures like tube jigs (white, glow in the dark are good) toward shoreline from a boat is quite successful in the early hours as well. Some reports of catching kokanee near the narrows by trolling wedding ring lures or other kokanee favorites. Tributaries to the reservoir are closed until July 14th (read proclamation). Regulations for the reservoir include an aggregate limit of four trout or kokanee salmon.
