The water level in Green Peter is close to full and should be in fairly good shape for most of the summer. Both Thistle Creek and Whitcomb boat ramps are available to launch boats. This is a great time of year to target trout and smallmouth bass in the reservoir. Focus on areas with structure, such as drop-offs, ledges, and downed wood, to increase your chances of success. Fishing is best either very early or very late in the day, especially with this recent heat wave.‌

The reservoir is usually stocked with trout in the spring. It was stocked before Memorial Day with around 2,800 trout. Also, as a reminder to anglers, fishing for and harvesting Chinook in the lake and the rivers above is prohibited. Any Chinook caught in Green Peter reservoir must be released unharmed. ‌
