Access to Yellowjacket Reservoir is now closed due to the Falls Fire which recently burned through the area. Please check with Malheur National Forest for updates on the closure.

Fishing for holdover trout on Yellowjacket has been great this spring with fish up to 17 inches being consistently caught.

Fishing action has slowed down a bit recently due to warming surface water. Expect the hottest action later in the evening during the longer hot summer days.
