Fish Lake is stocked with trout and fishing should be good. Pounder-sized rainbow trout, brook trout, landlocked spring Chinook salmon, and tiger trout are also available. Anglers have been catching nice-sized Chinook and rainbow trout by trolling spinner/bait combinations. Bank anglers can catch fish by still fishing with bait or by casting lures.

The lake is 72 percent full, but currently has a pretty significant algae bloom. The Forest Service boat ramp is open. The Fish Lake Resort restaurant, boat launch, and campground are also open. Anglers are encouraged to report catches and send photos of larger spring Chinook or tiger trout to the local ODFW district office at 541-826-8774. Tiger trout must be released unharmed.
