Applegate's reservoir level is currently at 1,942 feet or 57 percent full. Check up-to-date reservoir levelshere, or call the Army Corps of Engineers at 800-472-2434 for flow and temperature information.
All boat ramps are open as well as Hart-Tish. Fishing has been good at Applegate throughout the lake with boat anglers trolling and still fishing picking up larger fish but there are plenty of options for bank anglers that will produce fish. Fishing near the dam in deep water and at the upper end of the lake where the tributaries enter are good bets. Fish may spread out into shallower areas with the rain and cooler temperatures forecasted for the weekend. PowerBait, night crawlers and spinners are all good techniques.
One angler recently did well at Applegate using a night crawler without weight on the lake bottom and PowerBait with a 12-inch leader.
Bass fishing has also been productive for anglers fishing around submerged trees and boulders. Applegate has been stocked with 10,000 legal-sized trout numerous times this year and larger holdover trout are always available.
There is a longstanding health advisory for consumption of resident species due to elevated levels of mercury. See Oregon Health Authority consumption guidelines or the 2022 sportfishing regulations for more information.
