http://www.dfw.state.or.usAnglers caught trout over the weekend fishing deep. Hart-Tish boat ramp and campground are now closed. Boaters can still access the reservoir using the Copper boat ramp or French Gulch. The lake surface temperature has significantly cooled to 65 degrees. Some of the trout have external parasites called copepods. Fish parasites generally do not pose a threat to humans when fish are cooked, and copepods can be scraped off prior to cooking. Anglers are encourage to keep fish that have copepods while staying within the daily limit, since release simply allows the parasite to expand to other hosts.
Fishing for bass should be very good as well.
