: McPhee Reservoir - Fishing for trout has been good for kokanee, trout and walleye. Anglers also have been enjoying some good activity for smallmouth bass. Remember that all smallmouth and largemouth bass 10-15 inches long must be returned to the lake immediately. However, anglers should keep fish that are less than 10 inches. They are tasty, and by taking out the smaller fish, more food is left for the others to grow to trophy size. Boat inspections are conducted from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Sagehen ramp.
