Howard Prairie is 40 percent full. The marina is now closed, so the best access for anglers is near the dam. Trout fishing should be good when weather allows access to the reservoir. Try fishing Powerbait above a sinker, a worm below a bobber or casting lures.

ODFW released over 100,000 fall fingerling rainbow trout at Howard this week. Anglers should handle these 6- to 7-inch fish gently if caught, immediately releasing them unharmed. These fish will be legal-size in 2025. Anglers are reminded to remove all vegetation from gear, boots and boats before leaving Howard Prairie.
