Idaho Fish Report
Some Very Good Success at Emigrant

Emigrant is 6 percent full. The main boat ramp is no longer usable. Even without a usable ramp, anglers can enjoy fishing from inflatables or other small watercraft, or fishing from shore.
Anglers continue to report very good success on bass and panfish at Emigrant, no doubt benefitting from higher concentrations of fish in a smaller reservoir pool. This past week anglers caught catfish and both smallmouth and largemouth bass. Look for rocks to find bass, fishing crankbaits or soft swimbaits. Nightcrawlers are probably a good choice for bait as water temperatures cool.
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.
