Emigrant is 57 percent full. All boat ramps are usable. Legal rainbow trout have been stocked several times over the last few months. Hot weather will likely send trout into deeper, cooler water. Bass and other warmwater fish should be active near shore and structure, like the willows near the inlet.

There is a longstanding health advisory for consumption of resident warmwater species in Emigrant for high levels of mercury. Consult the sportfishing regulations or the Oregon Health Authority for more information on consumption guidelines.

The most current elevations for Emigrant Reservoir and other Rogue Basin reservoirs can be found on the Bureau of Reclamation’s website, here.
