Riffe lake: Fishing is very good at Riffe lake. Fish are 40 to 80 ft deep. Riffe has landlocked Coho Salmon, Rainbow and Cutthroat trout which all count as part of your 5 trout limit. Recommended gear for trolling a hoochie or wedding ring spinner about a foot behind an Arrow flasher, tip hooks with shrimp. Bank fishing by the dam with a sliding bobber with Shrimp and worms can also produce fish. Riffe also has Smallmouth Bass and fishing for them in the summer months can be very good.

Kosmos boat launch and parking lot are closed. Taidnapam Park boat launch is closed.
