Rogue River above Lost Creek Lake is anticipated to be stocked with 2,500 legal sized fish this week. Fly fishing can start to become quite good as hatches are starting to come out. Brown trout can also be caught in and around the North Fork Reservoir in Prospect. Bass crank baits or leech patterns fished near logs or structure can coax them to bite. Anglers are encouraged to harvest brook trout regardless of size.
