Emigrant is 64 percent full. All boat ramps are usable. Legal rainbow trout have been stocked several times over the last few months. Hot weather starting this weekend will likely send trout into deeper, cooler water.  

There is a longstanding health advisory for consumption of resident warmwater species in Emigrant for high levels of mercury. Consult the sportfishing regulations or the Oregon Health Authority for more information on consumption guidelines.

The most current elevations for Emigrant Reservoir and other Rogue Basin reservoirs can be found on the Bureau of Reclamation’s website, here.
