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.

BIG LAVA LAKE: Anglers are reporting good success. The rainbow trout seen in the creel are ranging in size from 12 to 16 inches.

CLEAR LAKE: Clear Lake was recently stocked, and should provide excellent fishing opportunity.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Angling over the weekend was reported to be fair with some very nice rainbow trout and brook trout being harvested.

CRESCENT LAKE: Anglers are reporting that the fish action is still a little slow. As the lake temperatures warms the fishing success should pick up.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: No recent reports from anglers. The Crooked is currently flowing at 243 cfs. ODFW and OSU have initiated a radio telemetry study on redband trout and whitefish, and anglers are reminded that radio-tagged fish cannot be legally harvested. To determine if a fish is radio-tagged, anglers should check for an eight-inch wire antenna protruding from the rear of both redband and mountain whitefish.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to Warm Springs): Spring chinook fishing below Sherars Falls has been good when water conditions permit. Anglers are being most successful fishing the “plunking” holes. As the water level drops angling should continue to be consistent.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Benham Falls): Flows in this reach are currently running at 101 cfs. Angling in this reach is reportedly good for both rainbow trout and brown trout.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Benham Falls to Wickiup Reservoir): Anglers caught some nice brown trout in this reach over the past week. This reach of river provides opportunity for brown trout and rainbow trout.

EAST LAKE: East Lake anglers are reporting catches of rainbow trout, kokanee and brown trout.

ELK LAKE: Anglers can now access Elk lake via traveling north on South Century drive. South Century drive over Mt. Bachelor is still closed to traffic. There are reports of anglers doing well angling for brook trout and kokanee.

FALL RIVER: Fly angling only with good opportunity for rainbow trout. Angling is reported to be on the slow side.

FROG LAKE: Is currently inaccessible due to snow and will not be stocked this year due to inaccessibility. The fish that were allocated to be stocked in Frog Lake will be stocked in nearby Clear Lake.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: No recent reports.

HOSMER LAKE: Hosmer Lake is now accessible via traveling north on South Century drive. South Century drive over Mt. Bachelor is still closed to traffic. Hosmer is a fly-angling only lake providing a unique opportunity for Atlantic salmon. Hosmer also provides good opportunity for brook trout.

KINGSLEY RESERVOIR: Kingsley was recently stocked, and should provide excellent fishing opportunity. Angers should be aware that camping will be limited due to remaining snow drifts.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Fishing for bull trout and kokanee has been slow. Kokanee being caught are in good condition, ranging from 10 to 14 inches. Please note the emergency regulation in effect suspending the 25 fish bonus bag for kokanee. Lake bag limit is five trout (including kokanee).

NORTH TWIN LAKE: There is good opportunity for 8 to 12-inch rainbow with potential for larger fish.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Reports of good angling for rainbow trout.

ODELL LAKE: Anglers are reporting good success for kokanee and lake trout. Those anglers targeting kokanee should be on the water at daybreak for best success.
