As of 2/23/23, the road into Illipah Reservoir is snowed in.  Access may be possible with vehicles that are chained up but NDOW personnel did not reach the reservoir this week. The water level in Illipah Reservoir continues to recover from the lows of irrigation season.  At last report, the reservoir is covered with 10 inches of solid ice.   Anglers should expect to catch 8-to-12-inch Rainbow Trout and the occasional Brown Trout.    Nightcrawlers, a variety of jigs, and PowerBait are all producing great catch rates.
