Would only hit it if u had a boat to troll for trout. It's low, but pretty sure they are focusing on filling it now.

ok thanks anywhere that you know for decent to good bank fishing?

Blue River Res is down but bank angling is doable. Also Hills Creek res, near Oakridge...

Aren't there any lakes open in the Bend area?

I don't think you could launch a boat at Cougar. I have fished it in the winter and done well. You just need to walk down the banks, see if you can find a place where a stream runs in.

troutdude there are lakes in bend area they are either frozen or snow makes it where you can't get to them.

thanks grampa ron thats what i was planning on. what did you catch the fish with when you did well?

Copper and chrome Thomas spoons would be my lure of choice. 1/16 and 1/8th oz.

Another great lure is a gold Little Cleo. Good luck and I'm looking forward to your report.
