Fish Lake is 37 percent full. Both the resort and USFS boat ramps are open, but as the reservoir level continues to drop, the USFS ramp users should exercise extreme caution. The large pothole in the ramp is now a problem for launching, and stumps are getting closer to the water surface.‌

Conditions at Fish Lake have been excellent the past few weeks. Current water temperature at Fish Lake is 49 degrees, and trout fishing has been very good. Anglers have had success trolling spinners but have also done well fishing with PowerBait, eggs, and worms. ‌

Anglers have reported a mix of smaller trout caught amongst some larger keepers. Additionally, 900 trophy trout are scheduled to be released later this month. ‌

Most boats were fishing in the middle of the lake between Doe Point and the opposite bank. Fish were active closer to the resort as well. Weeds are reportedly worse near the dam, so avoid this area.‌

Any tiger trout caught should be immediately released unharmed. Anglers are encouraged to report their catch or any other fish stories to Rogue Fish District Staff 541-826-8774.
