Fish Lake is at 70 percent full and mostly ice-free. Boat ramps should be opening up soon.

This is a great time of year to get out and troll on Fish Lake. There should be some holdover trout available until the first round of legal trout get stocked in a few weeks. Sno-Park Permits are needed through April 30.

Anglers are encouraged to report catches of tiger trout or any other fish stories to Rogue Fish District Staff 541-826-8774.
