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: The bite has slowed a little though anglers are still reporting good success. Overall Big Lava has been producing extraordinary catches for anglers this season. The rainbow trout seen in the creel are ranging in size from 12 to 20 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 nice rainbow trout and kokanee being harvested.

CRESCENT LAKE: Anglers are reporting good action for kokanee running 12 to 16 inches. Some nice rainbow trout are also being caught.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy chinook to Benham Falls): Angling in this reach is reportedly good for both rainbow trout and brown trout.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Benham Falls to Wickiup Reservoir): Anglers report catching 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. Fly anglers are reporting that the fish are mostly feeding on midges, but will hit calibaetis nymphs and woolly buggers (in addition to chironomid nymphs). No adult calibaetis hatches were noted, but likely will happen in next few weeks.

ELK LAKE: There are reports of anglers catching some nice brook trout. Kokanee have also been reported in anglers’ creels.

FALL RIVER: Anglers are reporting good success for rainbow trout.

FROG LAKE: 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.

HOSMER LAKE: No recent reports. Hosmer is a fly angling only lake providing a unique opportunity for Atlantic salmon. Hosmer also provides good opportunity for brook trout.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Fishing for bull trout and kokanee has been slow.

LAURANCE LAKE: Laurance is ice free and recently stocked. Anglers are reminded that only fin-clipped trout may be kept, and only artificial flies and lures may be used.

LITTLE LAVA LAKE: Fly anglers are reporting good numbers of rainbow trout being caught on Little Lava with an ant pattern.

LOST LAKE: Lost Lake was finally cleared of all snow and recently stocked. Anglers should find good numbers of hungry trout.

METOLIUS RIVER: Reports of some fair angling for redband trout and bull trout from Allingham Bridge downstream.

NORTH TWIN LAKE: There is good opportunity for 8 to 12-inch rainbow with potential for larger fish up to 18 inches.

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. The kokanee are hanging a little deeper due to the warmer water temperatures. Please note that all bull trout need to be released unharmed. Anglers are encouraged to take time to learn how to differentiate between lake trout and bull trout. Please check with the Forest Service Crescent Ranger Station for information on campgrounds.

PAULINA LAKE: Anglers are reporting catching limits of kokanee with the fish ranging from 10 to 13 inches. Anglers fishing shoreline areas are catching some nice browns and there are also reports of fair rainbow trout catches.

PINE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: The reservoir has recently been stocked and should provide good action. Anglers have reported good catches of stocked trout with many of them large brood trout.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers are reporting fair success for rainbow trout.

ROCK CREEK RESERVOIR: Angler reports have indicated excellent catches on recently stocked fish with many large brood trout.

SIMTUSTUS LAKE: No reports from the past weekend. Legal-sized rainbow trout were stocked before opening weekend and will continue to be stocked throughout the summer. A tribal angling permit is required in addition to a state angling license to fish in the lake. The bag limit is five trout per day including kokanee. Some bull trout are available. Bull trout limit is one fish with a 24-inch minimum as in Lake Billy chinook.

SOUTH TWIN LAKE: The bite has slowed a little but anglers are still catching a fair number of fish. South Twin’s nice shoreline makes the lake a good place to take young kids to fish.

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake, located near The Dalles, has been stocked with legal and trophy size rainbow trout and should offer good trout fishing prospects. Several excess hatchery steelhead from Hood River have recently been released into the lake.

WICKIUP RESERVOIR: Anglers are reporting catches of brown trout and rainbow trout in the Deschutes arm and the Davis arm. Some anglers are still having success catching kokanee around Goose Island.
