Howard Prairie is 52 percent full. The reservoir has been stocked with plenty of legal-sized trout and the full reservoir last year should have promoted very good growth for hold-over trout. The Willow Point and Klum Landing Park boat ramps are both open. Grizzly Park campground and day use areas are open for paddle craft to carry to the water. Largemouth bass fishing will likely start to pick up in the next few weeks. Try fishing with senkos, wedding rings, brush hogs, or other rubber baits on a jig head and let them sink naturally along docks or structures. Reports of anglers having success catching their daily trout limit and some largemouth bass in the process. Remember to remove all vegetation from gear, boots and boats before leaving Howard Prairie.
