Bass fishing has been slow with the highest catch rates in the lower reservoir between the dam and Dry Creek.
There has recently been some great fishing for nice-size crappie near Leslie Gulch.
Anglers targeting bass may catch some with tags near the dorsal fin. ODFW is studying bass movement, condition and angler harvest of bass. The tags have a four-digit number and can be reported by phone or on MyODFW.com.
