STAMPEDE RESERVOIR

The warm temperatures have melted the snow on the road, so it is accessible as of now. Anglers at Stampede Reservoir are doing well trolling for rainbows or cutthroats in 20 feet of water with speedy shiners, needle fish, sierra spoons, or a dodger and worm combo. The Kokanee bite is done for the season, most kokanee are up the creek. Shore anglers are doing decent near the dam and outlet cove.

PROSSER RESERVOIR

Prosser Reservoir is fishing well from shore. Anglers should focus near the dam and any inlets. Shore fishing has been great using kastmasters, panther martins, sierra spoons, or any lure you can get some distance out of with a slow retrieve is doing well for nice cutthroats and rainbows. The bass bite is slow, but they are around in some parts near the dam.

JACKSON MEADOWS RESERVOIR

Jackson Meadows Reservoir is most likely accessible now due to the warm temperatures the area has seen over the past few weeks. 4×4 is recommended just in case.

PYRAMID LAKE

Southern beaches from blockhouse to popcorn are producing decent fish for the shore anglers fly fishing and spin fishing. Look for a low pressure weather change in the next couple of weeks to break up the schools of bait and move more fish into the shallow waters. Anglers should try using strike indicators with a balanced leech or stripping flies with black wooly buggers. Look for the fishing to pick up here as the weather changes into the winter season.
