Bass Fishing Has Really Picked Up in The Last Few Weeks

Emigrant Reservoir - Ashland, OR (Jackson County)

With warming surface temperatures, trout anglers will want to fish off the bottom or with a sliding and threaded nightcrawler under a bobber. Trolling near the dam or up by the Emigrant Arm will be best for trout. For bank anglers interested in a little hike, walkalong the shore toward the dam to find the deepest water. The best success out here will be targeting warmwater fish.

Bass fishing has really picked up in the last few weeks. Anglers are throwing lipless crankbaits/rattlers, spinner baits, and Texas rigs. A nice 3- or 4-inch swim bait has also produced based on recent reports. 

Crappie fishing with small crappie jigs is also producing.

For more information on park facilities closures visit the Jackson County Parks website. The RV Park is only open to fire victims, but the tent campsites are open to the general public.

The reservoir is dropping and is currently at 28 percent capacity. Surface temperatures are in the mid 60s but will be heating up next week.
