Prosser and Stampede are very full and there is still plenty of cold water coming in the feeder streams. Check these areas out first. Smallmouth Bass are a great target and can be found around the dam faces or anywhere there is good rocky structure. Some nice smallmouth have been caught this season. Milton is also a great choice and there is no problem with water temp here as it is always cold. Fish it like a spring creek with longer leaders, smaller, tippet, and smaller flies. The reservoirs are a great option if the rivers are not fishing well for you.
