| Joes Valley Reservoir 2016-10-26 Good |
Anglers have had recent success trolling with chub-patterned lures, and they’re catching rainbows up to 25 inches long. People are also catching splake up to 20 inches long along the cliffs south of the boat ramp. They’re using half-ounce silver spoons and pumpkin-colored curly tailed grubs with a half-ounce jighead. These work best by casting out, letting the line hit the bottom and retrieving them slowly. DWR fisheries biologists also found many large cutthroats, tiger trout and splake during gillnetting surveys last week. |

| Millsite Reservoir & State Park 2016-11-01 Good |
Anglers report good to hot fishing at Millsite. The past week has offered the best fishing some anglers have ever encountered at the reservoir. Anglers are catching mostly cutthroat trout, which have ranged from 12 inches to 20 inches. They’re having luck while bait fishing from the shore or trolling with Jake’s spinners. |
| Scofield Reservoir 2016-11-01 Fair |

Try using silver spoons, Kastmasters or jigs, as well as soft plastics. As temperatures continue to drop, some of the large cutthroats should also be biting on crankbaits along the rocky shorelines. Anglers are also catching chubs on worms and spinners. |
