Open water is available but the reservoir still extremely low. Don’t expect much of anything for trout as last year’s low, warm water put a significant hurt on the trout. With the extremely low water, it was not stocked in the fall either. No reports on bass fishing yet, but water temps are still quite chilly and the low reservoir also impacted them.

Hyatt lake resort, store and restaurant are open. This is a great place to swing by and grab a bite to eat for mountain visitors. There are snow parks available in the vicinity.

There is a Hwy 66 and Hyatt Lake Rd webcam that may help you if you are planning a trip. Also, ODOT trip check is worth looking at.
