Warm Springs Reservoir was stocked with 30,000 rainbow trout fingerlings in 2023 and another 60,000 in 2024.
Recent sampling showed one-year-old trout should be in the 12-inch range and fingerlings stocked in 2023 could be much larger. During sampling, our highest catch per unit effort for trout was north of the lower boat ramp. . Sampling indicates there is a strong year class of age 1 bass that will provide a good fishery in a couple more years.
No recent reports on fishing. Trout fishing should be good this fall , smallmouth fishing can also be great this time of year untill the water temperature drops below 50 F.
