The water does have some color, so brighter presentations and bait may be a better choice. The warmwater bite should be getting better and some notably large largemouth bass have been spotted lately. The reservoir was stocked with 1,500 legal and 400 trophy rainbow trout the last week of January. Also the middle of March, again in the middle of April and last week with legal rainbows. Anglers are reporting good catches. Bass angling has been good.

Common carp have been illegally introduced into the reservoir. If one should catch a carp, please take a photo, get the size, and location where caught and send to evan.leonetti@odfw.oregon.gov or call the Roseburg office at 541-440-3353. Do not release the fish back into the water.
