We just spent weekend up there, we drove in from Lowman/bear valley road, out via warm lake (for detailed directions see deadwood outfitters website). Folks at Deadwood outfitters told us Scott mountain route still not open, I've never driven that way but have heard very rough and not good for towing at all - from everything I've heard...avoid Scott mountain route.
Both routes we drove this weekend were a bit wash board in areas, but overall pretty decent. I'd recommend warm lake route if this is your first drive in. No matter what these are not the type of roads you travel fast and make good time on.
As mentioned previously, bring plenty of water and whatever else you need, there are no resources/stores nearby.
Now for fishing, it was slower than I've experience past years, but size was up - we had slow morning but finally found some kokanee from the dam and west in front of cozy cove camp out in 90-120 feet of water scattered from 20-40 feet down. 25-35 feet down seemed best action. we kept 15 koke and 3 trout.
