: Detroit Reservoir: Reservoir levels continue to rise as prescribed in the rule curve and looks like it will fill completely by the Memorial Day weekend. Water levels have increased enough for most boat ramps to be in the water, including Detroit Lake State Park as well as the main ramp at Mongold. Kokanee fishing is heating up and a few holdover trout are also being caught. This is the time of year where juvenile chinook are also feeding more actively before beginning their outmigration to the ocean. Please be mindful and release any Chinook back into the water. ? Trout are available and active year-round. Pretty much all techniques will catch fish, but it might take some experimenting to find out what is most effective on the day you're out there. Trout are usually stocked from late April through July. ? The reservoir gets stocked with trout during the spring and summer with many of these fish 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. ?Last updated 4/17/24. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |

| About: - Detroit Lake is located in the Cascades of Oregon. The 400-foot-deep lake was created in 1953 when the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers completed the Detroit Dam project. The lake is over nine miles long with more than 32 miles of shore line. Detroit provides many easily accessible locations for avid fishermen. There are many fishing spots around Detroit Lake that can be very good from the shore. Fishing from the dam provides the easiest access with some very good fishing action. (more on Detroit Lake) |
