Ten-inch rainbow trout are stocked in Baker Reservoir in the fall and provide good fishing through the colder months and into the spring. Most anglers fish with popular baits, but flies and lures also work very well. Fishing will begin to slow down in late spring as temperatures rise and the reservoir is drawn down for irrigation use. Notice: Significant flooding from fall rains on the Forsyth Fire burn scar caused large ash and debris flows into the reservoir, leading to reduced oxygen and water quality. Some fishkills have been observed. Be aware that fishing will be poor until water quality improves and fish can be restocked
