The Service Creek and McDonald Ferry gaging stations are already at or below 250 CFS, which is very low and unusual for mid-June. Bass fishing will be good throughout the summer but watercraft larger than a single person inflatable is not advised unless you really enjoy dragging/pulling/pushing heavy objects over river rock. Bank fishing and day floats with smaller inflatables will be your best bets to take advantage of some excellent summer bass fishing. JUBILEE LAKE: Rainbow trout

Road access is closed for the season but anglers who walk in can find success. The gates to the lake open the first week of July.
