Fishing forecast (December through April): Matt Warner Reservoir was stocked with catchable-sized rainbow trout in the spring. Angler reports from the fall indicated fair success for trout ranging from 16-19 inches. Road access can be limited with snowstorms and drifting. Access via over-the-snow machines is common from December through March. Ice cover was about 7 inches thick on Dec. 7. Early ice is frequently the most productive with success declining over the winter as the ice thickens. By late winter, dissolved oxygen levels usually become low near the bottom so fish may be just under the ice. Classic ice fishing lures work, including tube jigs, spoons and ice flies tipped with bait like Gulp maggots, nightcrawlers and mealworms. A fish finder will benefit anglers in locating fish and anticipating strikes as fish can be caught at all depths during the cold winter period. Watching how fish react to a lure can help decide whether to jig or let the lure deadstick. Fish can be finicky at times under the ice so try switching lures and jigging techniques if fish appear on the graph but will not hit. (Dec. 11, 2023)
