2 of us launched out of Spring Canyon and noticed right away the water level had risen since our last trip (which surprised me, since February usually means even lower water levels). That rising water scattered the zooplankton and the rainbows. We couldn't find any concentrations of fish.-just a few scattered here and there. We fished Swawilla basin and areas upstream between there and Keller. We had only 5 hits all day, landing just 2 keepers (one on a black/orange fly and one on an orange rapala). The fish appear to be at the surface. We didn't mark anything below 24 feet or so and our downriggers didn't get a bump. We called it a day early-around 2:30, and one other angler at the dock reported catching 7 fish (4 keepers) on surface trolled rapalas-all caught pretty close to the Spring Canyon launch. I think it's time to try another lake. Maybe Rufus Woods for a combination walleye/trout trip (after it warms up a bit)....
