Last fall Howard Prairie was stocked with over 150,000 six-inch trout, followed by 10,000 legal-sized trout this spring. These fish are 10 to 14 inches now, and are growing quickly on the abundant food available. In addition, holdover trout up to 20-inches still being caught.
Most trout anglers have been still fishing, and most are using Powerbait. Trout were caught by boat anglers all around the lake on Sunday. Still fishing was productive at Buck Island, Red Rocks, and in the even in the more shallow areas of the reservoir upstream of Grizzly Campground. Some limits were caught upstream of Grizzly, and at least one angler recommended adding some movement to the bait in and among the vegetation to entice trout to strike. Bank anglers caught trout at the marina jetty, but trout fishing was poor for bank anglers near the Willow Point boat ramp.
The lake is 96 percent full. Water clarity was better in the upper half of the reservoir compared to the Buck Island area. The surface temperature at Grizzly Campground was 68F Sunday.
