http://www.dfw.state.or.usApplegate Reservoir is stocked with trout each spring.
The reservoir has begun refilling and water levels are above Copper boat ramp and approaching Hart Tish but anglers should call the Forest Service to see if that ramp is open. Slow trolling a wedding ring/worm combination, flashers or dodgers with bait, or wind-drifting worms should be effective.Trolling a lure like a flatfish or casting flies may work as well.
Bank fishing can be difficult at Applegate due to the steep shoreline, but the upper end should have some access and there has been recent success by bank anglers at the creek mouths. The surface temperature in the reservoir is 41F.
