Emigrant Reservoir Updates

Emigrant is 14 percent full. The main boat ramp may be usable by small trailered boats for a few more days, but not much longer. Even without a usable ramp, anglers can enjoy fishing from inflatables or other small watercraft, or fishing from shore.

Catches in recent days include largemouth bass on a wacky worm, smallmouth bass on a Vibrax bullet fly, black crappie on a crappie jig, as well as yellow perch and a good-sized rainbow trout. Fishing for bass and panfish should remain very good at Emigrant until cold weather starts.

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
