Fish Lake is 50 percent full and trout fishing should continue to be good. Both the resort and USFS boat ramps are open but watch out for stumps at the USFS ramp before putting a trailer in the water. Bank anglers can catch fish on PowerBait fished from shore around the resort and the USFS boat ramp. Fly and gear anglers can still do well in colder conditions with a slow presentation. ‌

Trolling diagonally between the resort and the bank opposite Doe Point can help trollers stay out of the weeds. Wedding ring and worm combinations and streamer flies have caught trout for trollers at Fish Lake recently. ‌

As winter approaches, snow may affect access for boats off and on early in the season, and a snow park permit is required beginning Nov. 15. ‌

Any tiger trout caught should be immediately released unharmed. Anglers are encouraged to report their catch or any other fish stories to Rogue Fish District Staff 541-826-8774.
