Galesville has been stocked several times this year and should have trout from previous stockings. In addition to trout, the reservoir was stocked with coho smolts until 2015.  The reservoir is very low and fish should be kegged up.

In Galesville Reservoir, all landlocked salmon are considered trout and are part of the five-per-day trout limit, with only one trout over 20-inches long allowed for harvest.

Fishing for bass and other panfish should be decent.  Good areas are near dead snags and the boat ramp.  Try a slow retrieve with a diving crank bait.

Call 541-837-3302 for information on camping and boat launching conditions as the reservoir is well below normal.
