Crappie fishing should be slowing as most fish have completed spawning. Crappie and largemouth bass were captured recently. Campbell Reservoir is nearly full. Water temperatures will be warming for warmwater fish. BLM, ODFW and BOR stocked a total of 431 crappie in April 2024 ranging in size from 8-14 inches. Please report any crappie catch to ODFW at 541-883-5732. Crappie catch has likely peaked.
The reservoir was dry in summer of 2022. All fish perished. ODFW and BLM have stocked many size classes of largemouth bass and a few crappie in 2023. Catch-and-release is encouraged to allow for establishment of fish populations. There might also be a few redband trout around.
