The water level in Green Peter is just about full and should be in fairly good shape for most of the summer. Thistle Creek boat ramp was re-opened by Linn County on Feb. 1. Whitcomb Creek boat ramp is also available. This is a great time of year to target trout and smallmouth bass in the reservoir. As the water warms up, smallmouth bass should become more active. Focus on areas with structure, such as drop-offs, ledges, and downed wood, to increase your chances of success.‌

The reservoir is usually stocked with trout in the spring. It was stocked before Memorial Day with around 2,800 trout. Also, as a reminder to anglers, fishing for and harvesting Chinook in the lake and the rivers above is prohibited. Any Chinook caught in Green Peter reservoir must be released unharmed. ‌

For the latest information on water levels at Green Peter Reservoir check with the Army Corps of Engineers' website for more information.
