The Cedar River offers a local option for larger trout, with dries being the most fun and streamers covering the most water. Shad have also been reported migrating upriver and provide exciting action when hooked.

Cedar River is fishing similarly to a freestone stream despite being a mini tailwater. Water is very low and warms in the afternoons, so fishing early in the day and targeting faster, oxygenated water is recommended.

Cedar River is fishing well with mostly small fish, though 20-21" fish can be found in the deeper holes. Small dries and the TJ Hooker stonefly as a point fly are producing.

The Cedar River is currently closed but opens May 23rd. It is running very low for this time of year and is expected to be extremely low by mid-summer, so fishing it immediately upon opening is recommended.
