Mexican Fish Report

The reservoir is ice-free. Open and accessible all year. Water temperatures were approaching 70 degrees this weekend. Fishing for crappie and largemouth bass should be good. Recent sampling showed good numbers of largemouth bass and small pumpkinseed in the shallows near cover. All other fish are in deeper water or suspended in deeper water.

Past net sampling showed some large yellow perch in the reservoir above the bridge crossing. Highest catch of all fish was above Topsy Bridge. Some very nice brown bullhead came out of Topsy last year and some anglers even found decent largemouth bass.

Water levels generally remain very similar and drop as the day progresses as water is released for power generation. There are numerous points of access on the reservoir as most property surrounding the reservoir is BLM or PacifiCorp property. There are three boat ramps on the reservoir.
