DETROIT RESERVOIR: trout The water level in Detroit is slowly dropping but should still be in good shape through the end of August. Some boat ramps such as Hoover and Southshore may not be usable in the next few weeks as the water level continues to drop, but the boat ramp at Detroit Lake State Park and at Mongold should be available through Labor Day. So far this year, over 30,000 catchable rainbow trout have been stocked into Detroit.Pretty much any technique will catch fish, but it might take some experimenting to find out what is most effective on the day you're out there. Now that mid-summer has arrived, with high temperatures and full sun, fish are going to be most active very early or very late in the day, so plan accordingly.The reservoir gets stocked with trout during the spring and summer with many of these fish still available throughout the fall and winter and into next year. As a reminder, anglers are allowed to keep up to five trout, with an additional five fish kokanee bag limit.Also, as a reminder to anglers, fishing for and harvesting Chinook in the lake and the rivers above is prohibited. Any Chinook caught in Detroit must be released unharmed.It's always a good idea to check the water levels at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website before using the boat ramps. For the latest information on water levels at Detroit Reservoir check with the Army Corps of Engineers' website for more information.Anglers are encouraged to report their catch on an on-line form. Remember to indicate whether the fish you catch have their adipose fin or not. This information will allow ODFW to manage the fishery for the benefit of both recreational anglers and the resource.
