Bass fishing has been very good in Brownlee Reservoir, and fishing for perch has been good as well. Anglers have had good success with crankbaits for bass, and bait has produced good catches of perch. Crappie fishing has been sporadic, but some good fish have been caught with some fish as large as 16 inches. The water temperature of the main reservoir is about 65°F. As the temperature continues to warm, more crappie will likely be available as they move into shallow water to spawn. Some catfish have been caught recently by anglers in Brownlee Reservoir.
