Horsetooth Reservoir - Fishing is good for walleyes and smallmouth bass. Water temperatures are in the low to mid 60s. This lake contains splake, rainbows, walleye, smallmouth bass and perch. Gizzard shad are the primary forage. Fishing is good along the sides of the dams and coves. Night fishing for walleyes in South Bay has been most productive. Live bait is available across the street from South Bay at Mary's South Bay Store.

Jackson Lake - Fishing is fair for trout and slow for all other species. For trout, fish the outlet canal and off the dam using Power Bait or nightcrawlers. There are no boating restrictions but there is a 15-inch size limit for wipers, walleyes and saugeyes.

Joe Wright Reservoir - Trout action is fair to good with many catches being made near the inlet on Kastmasters, Thomas Buoyants and Little Tasmanian Devils. Belly boaters have had the most success on Prince Nymphs, Hornbergs and Edson Tigers in deep water. Some nice grayling have been caught along the south side of the lake using #20-22 Disco Midge, Floating Tan Nymph, Parachute Baetis and almost any pattern of small emerger.

Jumbo Reservoir - The lake is full but water is being released. Boats can still be launched. Fishing is slow for all species. A use fee permit is required to enter the reservoir. No warm-water species will be stocked this year. Fishing also is poor in Jumbo Annex, a 60-acre lake beneath the main reservoir.
