Lake John - Fishing here remains good with the west shore being most productive. The best flies have been #6 Olive Woolly Buggers and rust-colored crayfish patterns. For two-fly rigs, anglers are using a #16 Copper John or Zebra Copper John followed by a #16 Olive or Tan Scud or #14 BH Callibaetis. Brassies and Copper Johns are taking cruising fish along the shorelines. When fish start rising in the evening, switch to a #16 Mosquito or Black Dub Ball Midge. Bait fishing is fair to good with salmon eggs, crawlers and Power Bait. Trollers do best with Flatfish or Rapalas dragged behind a flasher. Crayfish imitations work very well on the west side opposite the chokecherry patch.

Lon Hagler Reservoir - Fishing for stocker trout is good on bait, crawlers or minnows. Several nice fish have also been caught on Thomas Buoyants, Cyclones and Fiord spoons. Some large tiger muskies have been hooked but lost because the anglers were not using steel leaders.

Lonetree Reservoir - Wiper fishing is good, particularly at night, using worms; fair for crappie with small jigs. Walleye fishing remains hit-or-miss. Some anglers have caught nice walleyes on Flatfish and Lazy Ikes in fire-tiger or green colors.
