Fished Merrill. The gate was open though the sign on the road to Cougar said "Closed".
Probably 15 folks fishing and most had caught between 1-2 trout for some 4-5 hours of fishing.
I caught a nice cutthroat on a black marabou damsel nymph. Fished full sink, slow sink and floating lines. Really slow.
Fish were feeding with real splashy rises...but the only think I saw on the surface was a few flying ants. Lots of wind.
Does anybody know who we call to find out when the gate will open for good? It might have been open only for the weekend. Still snow on the high ridges around the lake.
