Monday, May 19 2025
Expect cold water temperatures. Trout Activity: Rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout are becoming more active as the ice thaws. Brown trout may still be sluggish. Best Baits/Lures: Bait Fishing: Nightcrawlers, Power Bait (chartreuse or garlic), and salmon eggs are working well. Lures: Small spinners (Panther Martin, Rooster Tail) in gold or silver, and Kast masters. Fly Fishing: Woolly Buggers (black/olive), nymphs (Prince Nymph, Hares Ear), and midges. Best Fishing Spots: Try the deeper areas near the dam early in the season. As the water warms, fish move toward shallower areas .If you are heading up there soon, be prepared for cold weather and possible snow/mud on the roads. Have you fished Big Lake before, or is this your first time heading out?
