Emergency Regulations Change: From July 1 through Sept. 30, all size limits and daily/possession limits are lifted for all game fish, due to low water and expected deteriorating water conditions by mid-summer. ODFW encourages anglers to harvest what they can consume and not waste the resource.

Float tubes or personal watercraft are the only vessels recommended for fishing on the lake right now. Near the dam there is a steeper bank for launching. The reservoir is 2 percent full and expected to likely reach deadpool by mid-summer. Anglers should keep an eye out for harmful algae blooms at low reservoirs and check the Oregon Health Authority website to learn how to be safe while fishing.

There is a Hwy 66 and Hyatt Lake Rd webcam that may help you if you are planning a trip. Also, ODOT trip check is worth looking at
