Fishing forecast (December through April): Baker Reservoir is generally ice-free through the winter. When it does get cold enough for ice, it is typically very thin and doesn't last very long. Ten-inch rainbow trout are stocked each year in the fall and should provide fair to good fishing through the winter. Most anglers fish with popular baits, but flies and lures also work very well. Baker Reservoir sometimes produces large brown trout and the colder months present the best time to target these fish.
