Detroit Reservoir is full and all boat ramps are currently in the water, including Detroit Lake State Park as well as the main ramp at Mongold. Another 1,800 trophy trout are being delivered to Detroit this week. So far this year, over 30,000 catchable rainbow trout have been stocked into Detroit. ‌

Pretty much any technique will catch fish, but it might take some experimenting to find out what is most effective on the day you're out there. ‌

The reservoir gets stocked with trout during the spring and summer with many of these fish available throughout the fall and winter and into next year. As a reminder, anglers are allowed to keep up to five trout, with an additional five fish kokanee bag limit. ‌

Also, as a reminder to anglers, fishing for and harvesting Chinook in the lake and the rivers above is prohibited. Any Chinook caught in Detroit must be released unharmed. ‌

It's always a good idea to check the water levels at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website before using the boat ramps. For the latest information on water levels at Detroit Reservoir check with the Army Corps of Engineers' website for more information. ‌

Anglers are encouraged to report their catch on an on-line form. Remember to indicate whether the fish you catch have their adipose fin or not. This information will allow ODFW to manage the fishery for the benefit of both recreational anglers and the resource.
