Surface temperatures are quite chilly (mid 40s) and water clarity is down with the recent runoff from snow and rain. Don’t expect much for fishing success out here. No boat ramps are usable. Anglers fishing from watercraft such as rafts, kayaks, SUPs and float tubes may need to drag vessels down to the water.
Emigrant is close to deadpool. Still, there should be areas with 40-50 feet of water. Trout will be found in these areas.
There is a longstanding health advisory for consumption of resident warmwater species in Emigrant for high levels of mercury. Consult the sportfishing regulations or the Oregon Health Authority for more information on consumption guidelines.
For more information on park facilities closures visit the Jackson County Parks website. The RV Park is only open to fire victims, but the tent campsites are open to the public.
The reservoir is currently at 2 percent, but slowly starting to rise.
