Similar to Comins Lake, the reservoir level dropped this year but still remains well above normal at approximately 85% of capacity.  The fall electrofishing survey revealed an average of 11.7 inches on Rainbow Trout and 13.3 inches on Brown Trout.  A total of 18,856 Rainbow Trout stocked into Illipah Reservoir in 2020.  There is currently no ice on the reservoir and water temperatures were at 40 degrees this week. Anglers will do well on nightcrawlers, mealworms, a variety of jigs, wet flies, and powerbait.
