Sprague River Updates

Redband trout have moved to water quality refuge areas as most of the Sprague River is very warm. Small black wooly buggers or jigs work best. In some area grasshopper patterns can work OK.‌

Best places to fish for brown trout and redband trout are the fast water areas near Chiloquin High School, the narrows and near all the springs in Beatty. Boats can be launched at two locations above Beatty. ‌

There are a few warmwater fish in the Sprague. The dominate warmwater fish is yellow perch. A few largemouth bass are around but their population has declined. There are also small brown bullhead. The best place to fish for warmwater fish is above Saddle Mtn Pit Road Bridge to near Godowa Springs Road Bridge. Bait is allowed in this section.‌

Anglers can find several kinds of flow date here: Near Real Time Hydrographics Data.
