Emigrant is 39 percent full. At least one boat ramp is currently usable and others should be soon. Legal trout were stocked last week. Cool water should have trout and bass distributed throughout the reservoir, so fishing should be productive throughout.
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.
The most current elevations for Emigrant Reservoir and other Rogue Basin reservoirs can be found on the Bureau of Reclamation’s website, here.
