Excess brood rainbow trout were released into Haystack Reservoir the third week of December and the fourth week of February. This is a rare opportunity for anglers to catch trophy-size broodstock rainbow trout in Haystack Reservoir this winter.

The boat ramps at the campgrounds on the east and west side of the reservoir have been closed for the season. The parking lot near the handicap fishing pier remains open year-round.

Following draining of Haystack Reservoir for maintenance, anglers should expect slow fishing as the reservoir is restocked and fish populations rebound.
