The surface temperature at Applegate moderated to 71 F with cooler weather this week. Check up-to-date reservoir levels here, or call the Army Corps of Engineers at 800-472-2434 for flow and temperature information.

Trout fishing should be good, although anglers may want to fish deeper now. Trolling flies or lures like a flatfish or panther martin on light line is worth a try, or fishing with heavier gear like dodgers and flashers ahead of a wedding ring spiked with a nightcrawler, Gulp worm or corn. Powerbait is the bait of choice for bank anglers. The intake tower bridge is another spot to fish when Applegate is full.

Bass fishing should be good at Applegate through summer. Smallmouth bass were caught on a Pro Shad swimbait recently

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 sportfishing regulations for more information.
