No recent reports from Cooper Creek. Bass and bluegill should be active now that the lake has warmed up a bit. Anglers targeting trout will likely have their best bite in the morning. Midday fishing will likely be slower for most anglers.

Beginning in 2016, Cooper has been stocked with coho and Chinook salmon juveniles. These are often mistaken for kokanee. Anglers may retain up to 5 salmon juveniles in the reservoir as part of their daily trout bag limit.
