Anglers have been reporting success catching these large fish as well as holdover trout.Following draining of Haystack Reservoir for maintenance, anglers should expect slow fishing as the reservoir is restocked and fish populations rebound. On June 8-9 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. the Columbia Drag Boat Association will hold its annual drag race on Haystack Reservoir. The Reservoir will be closed to all boats during racing operations. Last updated 4/10/24.
