Fishing is picking up all around the state this week. Kokanee are biting like crazy on Lake Mary Ronan folks been doing well on walleye at Rock Creek Marina, except when the wind picks up. Large mouth bass have turned on at Kicking Horse, Ninepipe, and Pablo Reservoirs.

Canyon Ferry Reservoir has risen and is great for walleye and trout.
