Open all year. Fishing continues to improve and has been fair all over the lake. Water temperatures have increased significantly. Redband trout are scattered. Covering lots of water will increase success rate. Areas at the outlet of the lake have very high visibility whereas other areas nearer to the Williamson River have poor visibility. Redband are beginning to move to water quality refuge of Williamson River and the Pelican Bay areas.
Odessa Creek boat ramp is open. Day use is allowed. The Rocky Point Boat ramp is open.
Hagelstein Park boat ramp, restroom and day use is open. Please remember that nets or traps of any type cannot be used to catch any species of fish. This includes minnows to use for bait. See page 20 of the Sport Fishing Regulations for legal harvest methods for minnows and chubs.
ODFW encourages catch-and-release on this fishery due to record low spawning numbers in 2020 and very low numbers in 2019. Please fight your fish quickly and then release your fish immediately without removing it from the water. Releasing fish is easier with barbless hooks.
The lake is 1.2 feet below full pool and 82 percent full.
Please remember that once you retain your one redband/rainbow trout limit you must stop fishing for redband/rainbow trout. Also, all radio tagged redband trout must be released unharmed. Redband trout will have what looks to be fishing line coming from the abdomen. These fish will be 6-20 inches long.
