The reservoir is around 60 percent full and the boat ramp is in great shape. Bully Creek Reservoir was stocked with 2,000 legal rainbow trout in May and recent sampling showed there are still some of those fish around.‌

There are some larger smallmouth and largemouth bass available but the majority of the bass sampled last week were less than 12 inches long. Anglers have reported catching some nice crappie this spring. There is a strong year class of age one crappie right now so expect crappie fishing to get even better in a couple of years.
