Fish Lake is now free of ice, and the boat ramp is open. Nine hundred trophy trout were released last fall, and the few anglers that have been willing to deal with the cold weather have been catching a few of these nice fish, along with the stocked Chinook salmon. Brook trout and tiger trout are also available. Anglers should concentrate their efforts in the water along the shore, which will warm more quickly on the sunny days. The reservoir is now 63 percent full.

Anglers are encouraged to report catches of larger spring Chinook or tiger trout to the local ODFW district office at 541-826-8774. Tiger trout must be released unharmed.

Anglers should be aware that a Sno-Park permit is required between Nov. 1 and April 30.
