Crappie fishing is slow as they are supsended in the reservoir. Crappie and largemouth bass were captured recently. Campbell Reservoir has a lot of water. Water temperatures will be warming for warmwater fish. Fishing for 10-14 inch largemouth bass should be good. BLM, ODFW and BOR stocked a total of 431 crappie in April 2024 ranging in size from 8-14 inches. Please report any crappie and bass catch to ODFW at 541-281-9199.
There is no boaot ramp and limited public access. A small pontoon boat or kayak is best. YOu need a boat you can carry to the water. Best fishing is along the willows along the deeper water along the dam face.
The reservoir was dry in summer of 2022. All fish perished. ODFW and BLM have stocked many size classes of largemouth bass and a few crappie in 2023. Catch-and-release is encouraged to allow for establishment of fish populations. There might also be a few redband trout around.
