Rainbow trout can be caught below Phillips Reservoir where they are stocked, and anglers may also encounter trout or perch that washed through the dam from the reservoir above. Recently some nice trout have been caught in the public land section below the reservoir.

There are few access points throughout the Baker Valley, but while water temperatures remain warm, bass and catfish can be caught in the lower Powder River near Richland. Most of the Powder River flows through private lands, so be sure to gain permission to fish on private lands before angling.
