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: No recent reports.

CLEAR LAKE: No recent reports.

CRESCENT LAKE: Brown trout fishing has reportedly been very good. This is typically a good time of year to target both brown trout and lake trout on Crescent. Kokanee is slow.

CROOKED RIVER MAINSTEM: Reports of some good to fair angling for rainbow trout.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: No recent reports. 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.

CULTUS LAKE: No recent reports.

DAVIS LAKE: Recent snowfall may prevent access at this time (Nov. 20). No reports from the past week. Water levels are low making boat launching a challenge though the lava flow campground boat ramp is open.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Sherars Falls to Warm Springs): Trout anglers will be successful by using nymphs. Water temperatures continue to cool and fewer bug hatches are occurring. Steelhead are in this section in good numbers and water temperatures and clarity are great for steelhead fishing. The entire Deschutes River closed Oct. 31 to the retention of Fall Chinook.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to Sherars Falls): Steelhead anglers are reporting decent catches, as effort on the river has declined significantly. Many large B-run steelhead are being captured, especially in the area downstream from Macks Canyon. The entire Deschutes River closed Oct. 31 to the retention of Fall Chinook.

ELK LAKE: No recent report.

FALL RIVER: Anglers are reporting fair to good success. Remember angling is closed downstream from the falls.

FROG LAKE: No new report.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Fishing is reported to be a little on the slow side.

HOOD RIVER: Steelhead fishing has been improving on the Hood River, as cooler temperatures have improved water quality. Anglers are reminded that chinook angling is closed and coho must be fin-clipped for retention. Trout fishing is closed.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Angling is slow for bull trout. A few anglers are having some success for rainbow trout and brown trout on the Deschutes River arm. Please note that the Metolius arm of the reservoir is closed to angling for the season beginning Nov. 1. Anglers should be advised that the recommended boat launching facility is the upper Deschutes arm ramp of the reservoir.

LAURANCE LAKE: Closes to angling as of Nov. 1.

LITTLE LAVA LAKE: No report.

LOST LAKE: Lost Lake has been stocked with legal and trophy sized hatchery rainbow trout. Some naturally produced brown trout are also available for anglers. Anglers should focus on the shallower shoal areas for best success.

METOLIUS RIVER: Reports of anglers having fair success for brown trout and mountain whitefish.

NORTH TWIN: No report

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: No recent reports. Anglers targeting rainbow trout should consider fishing the upper eastern end of reservoir.

PINE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: No recent reports, but fall and early winter fishing can be productive at Pine Hollow.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Opportunity is good for 12 to 16 rainbow trout. No reports on recent angler success.

ROCK CREEK RESERVOIR: Low reservoir level will limit both access and success.

SUTTLE LAKE: No recent reports.

WALTON LAKE: No recent reports.
