Applegate Reservoir will be stocked this week with 14,000 legal-size and 800 trophy rainbow trout. The Copper and French Gulch boat ramps are usable. Fishing has been good for larger trout. Bank anglers have done well near French Gulch. Slow trolling a wedding ring/worm combination, flashers or dodgers with bait, or wind-drifting worms should be effective. Trolling a lure like a flatfish or casting flies may work as well. Fishing for smallmouth bass and other warmwater species should get better as the weather improves.

Bank fishing can be difficult at Applegate due to the steep shoreline, but the upper end should have some access and there has been recent success by bank anglers at the creek mouths. The surface temperature in the reservoir is 50F.
