Hyatt is currently 44 percent full. Fishing has been good so far this season at Hyatt and trout continue to bite even with the heat. Powerbait, night crawlers and spinners have all been productive for trout. Boat anglers have had success in the deeper water and bank anglers continue to do well fishing near the dam. Trolling with red or green wedding rings spiked with Power Worms was productive, but the use of a dodger helped.

Anglers are catching largemouth bass, so bass did survive the worst conditions of the current drought cycle a couple of years ago.Most of the bass are small. It will take time for older age classes to dominate the bass fishery again.

Please note that a line of weeds is present between the concrete ramp and the main channel of the lake. Weeds at the surface are generally creating problems for trollers.

Please handle fish carefully. ODFW has received reports of anglers at Hyatt wasting smaller trout due to poor handling at release. This is even more important during hot weather. Remember that smaller trout now are the big holdover trout next year.

Wildcat Campground boat ramp is open for sure, and BLM is allowing weekend access to one concrete boat ramp at the main campground.
