Fished this lake lots over the years. Always lots of trout to catch. Fun for the kids. Fish straight out in front of the bend on the right. Wardens patrol it lots. Always have good chats with Officer Purpleluk.

Ice Report: 5 in

Has anyone ever inquired if people(companies)should be sucking out water ?

This lake use to be a lot better it's still ok tho, I usually catch a fish or 2. Hoping the water doesn't get any lower this summer. That was effecting fishing I think Couldent catch anything last summer

Caught 12 fish in two hours. In about 11 feet of water.

Hey all just wondering what to use here now, I haven't been there in awhile, bringing my son for his first time ice fishing, and I really would like him to catch something, any tips would be much appreciated

1 fish in 3 hours

Good 8 to 10 inches of ice but thinner in places

Fishing from shore nearly impossible because of weed growth. Even at the north side of bay where the drop off is becoming too weedy the cast. Time to go buy a canoe

I am calling environment to check into this. There draining the lake.

Its way lower than the colvert pipe !! Maybe surmont is piped into a few of the springs that fill the lake !! Something is not right !!!

Was out today caught limit but cant belive how low water is !! Think they nee to plug that colvert again !! Didnt see near as many fish on the finder as last couple years !!

The level is most likely not going to change much

The lake was artificially high for the past 5 years. A overflow culvert was plugged

Lake is still down. Hard to launch a boat but it is do able. 20 plus fish in 4 hours

Level is improving but still muddy waters

Lake level has fallen several feet like nothing I have seen before. Right now it would be nearly impossible to launch a boat or fish because of shallow water and mud. If water level does not improve this spring, it might be the end of this rainbow fishery%uD83D%uDC4E%uD83C%uDFFD

East basin off day use park. Some areas of slush

Had a great day fishing. Non stop action from 7-12. If I told you how many I landed you would not believe me. 5 wt rod sink tip, micro leech. Largest was 16"

Caught one 10" rainbow with a pickerel rig and earthworms while trolling. Early morning is probably a better time.

Ice Report: 2 ft
2-3 feet

Went out for a few hours on June 26 and caught 7 small rainbows each about 10". Kind of a waste of time as it must have been recently stocked. Better to wait until later in the summer when they will have a chance to fatten up

Fished for 4 hours and caught 1 sucker and 1 tiny trout. Not really worth the drive

Fished today only caught 6 small fish. Tried an asortment of flys and lures. Trolling seemed to work best

Has anybody fished the lake when there is no ice??? How is it in June?

From my experience, Engstrom is really hot until about March then it get fished out. In December I would land 30-50 'bows each day and then it declines after the new year until it gets so slow I stop going by end of February.

Good day out for fishing but no fish caught. Could be over fished as nobody there was catching

Good spot ice fishing

Haven't had good fishing lately. Went out last week. Got the quad stuck in overflow. Lots of ice though. Wouldn't recommend vehicles on the ice with the amount of snow and overflow

Went out on Monday Feb 11. No fish caught. Spent half an hour getting truck unglued from the slush on the lake. There is heavy rutting and large areas of thick slush and water on the ice surface. Travel on ice not recommended unless you have a sled or Soviet T4 tank

For great tasting trout soak in milk for 30 min then prepare to your liking enjoy

Caught 8 rainbows plus 1 sucker in 2 hours then got sick so I had to run home early. Will be back soon to continue. Small neon yellow jigs or wire worms with the orange marshmallows seem to bring them in. It is very entertaining watching six rainbows all swiping at the hook down the hole

Finally, I found a use for those orange fake marshmallows I bought at Walmart three years ago. Caught 52 rainbows in four hours during holidays

2 days in a row, 24 fish in 2 hours!

dec 20.. 18 inches of ice i measured drove on with suv cought over 10 trout catch n release one was 13"... 2 3\4"girth fun day with son

About 10" of ice. Liquid water and slush on ice surface. Caught 30 rainbows over 2 days. You don't need to go far to find them

Just wondering if anyone was on the lake this year yet? And how much ice?

Caught 8 in just a couple hours. Weather awful but lake calm and no crowds. I'm glad the government finally fixed up the boat launch with new garbage cans and gravelled the area to get rid of those truck-eating mud holes

Caught 5 in this area in 1hour trolling with a fly. Largest was 14 inches, great fun for my son and I.

I was there for 3 days, only beetwen 10 to 14 inch. I dont think to many big one over 16 inch. I do fly fishing. Using semi sink line with damsel nymph color green. Wet fly on trolling quickly was good. Nice lake, with lots of stocks rainbow.

Two rainbows in 20 minutes from shore here.

Yeah fishing was pretty good here all year but after eating my first batch I just caught and released not very tasty at all

Been there 3 times this season great fishing except yesterday . Didn't catch one . Lots of ice though. The trail to the lake is iced up bad hard to get back up

Was there today lots of fish around 2 feet of ice not very good to eat tho

18" of ice

If you want to catch rainbow trouts, this is the lake you want to be.
