Cooper was stocked a few weeks ago, meaning there should be lots of trout available for anglers including some holdover trout from last year. Bass may slow down due to the low temperatures.

Beginning in 2016, Cooper has been stocked with coho and Chinook salmon juveniles. Just recently ODFW stocked over 28,000 coho juveniles in the reservoir in 2021. These are often mistaken for kokanee. Anglers may retain up to 5 salmon juveniles in the reservoir as part of their daily trout bag limit. Please remember to release salmon and trout less than 8 inches
