Benches Pond: In June, the pond received about 2,000 rainbow trout. The most recent stocking happened June 21. Try spinners, worms and PowerBait to catch these newly stocked fish.

Boulger Reservoir: Rainbow trout, and even some cutthroat trout, are biting on salmon eggs here. PowerBait has been less effective. Worms and spinners should also work well.

Joes Valley Reservoir: Anglers are catching splake using chub meat near the rocky shorelines. If you’re after tiger muskies, try swimbaits and J9 Rapalas in black/gold and black/silver. Buzzbaits, chatterbaits, gold Kastmasters, football jigs and jerk baits haven’t been as effective. (07-07-17)
