Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE

ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Antelope Flat Reservoir has been stocked twice with catchable rainbow trout and fishing is good. These fish will be able to take advantage of an ample food supply and should grow quickly.

CLEAR LAKE: Clear Lake has been stocked with lots of keepers and brood rainbow trout. Lake levels may be getting low due to irrigation withdrawals.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: With water temperatures over 70 degrees, the big rainbows have moved into deeper channels looking for cooler water. Fish are more active in early morning or late evening.

CULTUS LAKE: There have been some good reports of nice rainbow trout and lake trout being harvested from Cultus over the last several weeks.

DAVIS LAKE: Water temperatures have been over 70 degrees. The water level is low and boat access is limited. Please note this is a fly-fishing only lake.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation): Fishing for summer steelhead has been good and water temperatures have cooled. Most of the summer steelhead are still below Sherars Falls, but expect numbers of fish to increase above Sherars as September approaches.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Bend): Excellent opportunities for rainbow and brown trout. Rainbow trout average 10 to 16 inches, while brown trout up to 26 inches are available. Anglers will find better access downstream of Lower Bridge.

EAST LAKE: The lake is still producing nice kokanee.

FALL RIVER: Fishing has been good. Nymphs have been particularly effective, but fish also are taking attractor dry-fly patterns.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Smallmouth bass fishing is starting to pick up in the reservoir.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Look for a golden stone hatch on the upper river, with pale morning duns and caddis hatches throughout the river.

ODELL LAKE: The fish have picked up some size over the summer and are averaging about 15 inches long. Anglers have had success trolling deep by the slide. Please note that all bull trout must be released unharmed.

PAULINA LAKE: The lake has been producing some nice kokanee.

SOUTH TWIN LAKE: Fishing has slowed down as the number of swimmers has gone up. Fish early or late in the day. South Twin is a good lake for younger anglers as it has a good shoreline and is protected from the wind.

THREE CREEKS LAKE: This small lake near Sisters was stocked in late June and fishing has been very good for both recently stocked and holdover fish.

WICKIUP RESERVOIR: Water temperatures are reaching 70 degrees, but fishing is picking up for big browns and kokanee in the Deschutes arm. The kokanee are heading up to spawn and the browns and rainbows are going up after the eggs.
