Conditions
: DeWeese Reservoir - Trout fishing has been good from shore using green, white or purple Powerbait as well as salmon eggs and worms. The moss line is a bit early this year and fishermen have had better success if they can cast beyond it. Boat fishing has been most productive trolling lures. Smallmouth bass action has picked up using tube jigs, rattle traps and Rapalas. There are no size restrictions on the smallmouth at DeWeese. You can keep five any length, and anglers are encouraged to keep smaller ones as there is an over abundance of them. Some Tiger Muskie have also been caught on bait and lures. Remember that the Tiger Muskie limit is one fish 36 inches or longer. Most trout are in the 12-inch class but we are seeing some occasional 16-18 inch fish.
