Phillips Reservoir will be stocked with trout throughout the spring. Fishing has been slow, and the reservoir is still very low. The reservoir is currently 10 percent full, and irrigation season will soon begin. The water has now reached the bottom of the Mason Dam boat ramp. There probably is enough water to launch small boats, but large boats may need a bit more water before they can use the boat ramp.

This spring may have a small window when boats can launch, but access to launch a boat may become very difficult if the reservoir does not fill more. Follow this link to see the Bureau of Reclamation website listing current reservoir levels.

Remember that tiger musky and bull trout must be released unharmed.
