Applegate Reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout. Early or late in the day will be best for all fishing at the reservoir. Surface temperatures have cooled to 55 degrees F with the recent cold evenings. There is very low fishing pressure up here, but trout fishing should be good.

The reservoir is quickly dropping down to the flood control pool. At current water levels the only boat access should be the low water ramp at French Gulch, but mud can be a problem in early fall at this location. Hart-tish is closed for the winter.
