rout fishing will improve this fall as water temperatures drop

Warm Springs Reservoir was stocked with 30,000 rainbow trout fingerlings in 2023 and another 60,000 in 2024.

Recent sampling showed one-year-old trout should be in the 12-inch range and fingerlings stocked in 2023 could be much larger. During sampling, our highest catch per unit effort for trout was north of the lower boat ramp. . Sampling indicates there is a strong year class of age 1 bass that will provide a good fishery in a couple more years.

No recent reports on fishing. Trout fishing will improve this fall as water temperatures drop. Fall smallmouth fishing can also be great.
