Can anyone provide fishing reports on deer lake in Harrison? What to use/hotspots?

Was up there in march, it was more of a test for the new boat. Any how their is a nice drop off at the end of the lake that is a nice spot to troll. It's a nice lake to fish but the winds can pick up fast. Best of luck.

I've found that any sort of green micro leech or similar fly works well there.  Seems like they like a bit faster troll.  Also, wedding band and worm do well.

I have only really fished it in the fall. Fished well, 4 hours on the lake trolling, about 13 fish. All were Cutthroat and Rainbow Trout between 8-14 inches. Fun little fish, good for a change of pace, but most are on the smaller side. It's a shallower lake and sometimes is a bit murky so I am not sure how well it will fish on some of the hotter days of summer.

Fish are all over but more concentrated at creek mouth. Good place to practice casting or to take someone who is a beginner as fishing is really easy. Cutties will take most anything. Caught about 30 fish in 3 hours with a #10 black (red butt) micro leech pattern fishing loch style with floating line...nothing over a pound though but still fun.

I've always done well fishing along the north shore to the left of the launch towards the east end. There is a lot of shoal water along here. Mostly caught small stocked cutthroat. Just about any fly does the trick though I tended to small olive wooly buggers.
