Collins Lake continues to produce excellent trout action, with rainbows and lightning trout spread throughout the water column and active from the surface down to 30-35 feet. While the final stocking of the season wrapped up in early May, a strong series of fall and spring plants has left the lake well-loaded. Trollers are running spoons, Rapalas, and trolling flies with success... particularly in pink or natural tones. Faster trolls are starting to pull in more fish.

Shore casters are soaking nightcrawlers and PowerBait, landing fish near the campsite. Bass are sliding into post-spawn patterns and pulling back from the banks. Finessse soft plastics are your best bet, and just like for trout, the color pink has been working well. Water clarity is good, and the fishing pressure has backed off a bit since the early spring rush.
