Fishing Conditions
Winter fishing on the Lower D can be fickle with low water, spooky fish, and limited access…but it still exists as this is a tailwater. The gate will be closed so it is a 3-ish mile road hike to the dam. Midges and small mayfly nymphs with be a primary food source. Watch for shelf ice in the shade.
