In general fishing has been slow up here as trout were last stocked in the early summer. However, cooling fall weather should improve the trout bite for the remaining fish still around. A small boat or float tube are a good bet up here that can give more access than along the Western bank along the road. Bluegill and bass are also available but likely not very active with the winter weather.
Medco Pond is a private pond and access can be revoked at any time. Bank anglers should stay away from the east portion of the lake, again due to private property. To help keep access open, anglers should make sure to pick up their trash, as well as other trash when they are there. The owners of Medco have restricted vehicle access to along the roadway because of vandals and dumpers. If you see someone doing something that may risk access for everyone, please let ODFW know.
