Fish Report for 10-16-2024

Phillips Reservoir has drained substantially

10-16-2024
OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

Phillips Reservoir has drained substantially this summer and is only about 1/4 full. Rainbow trout were stocked earlier in the year, and perch are available. ODFW sampled Phillips Reservoir the week of the July 29. Perch and pikeminnow were numerous. Samplers found larger perch in deeper water. Few trout and smallmouth bass were sampled.

Lots of fish were caught over Labor Day weekend including many nice trout and even a tiger muskie that was stocked this year. As the reservoir has drained, a fair number have perch have passed through the dam, many of which don't survive through the outlet
