There are some very nice trout in Malheur Reservoir right now. Anglers are consistently catching trout using a variety of methods. Recent sampling showed there are plenty of trout in the 17-20 inch range weighing around two pounds with good numbers of smaller trout as well.

Fly-fishing has been effective from the bank or from a boat either stripping streamers or suspending scud patterns below an indicator. Bait anglers are having success fishing from shore with power bait. Trolling would likely be effective as well. The boat ramp is still usable.
