French Gulch Ramp is Usable Again

French Gulch boat ramp is again usable as Applegate Reservoir has risen 40 feet since the beginning of January. Nothing new at Applegate Reservoir. Releases remain steady at 150 cfs for downstream fall Chinook eggs incubating in the gravel. Launching at French Gulch is still not advised as mud covers the ramp with the extremely low reservoir level. Hart-Tish and Copper are both unusable due to the low water.
Fishing from the bank or with a kayak or other small personal water craft is possible. Don’t expect a crowd (or anyone to pull you out), but there are fish to be caught as 15,000 legals were stocked in July.
The reservoir is 26 percent full with an elevation of 1,914.6 ft. Surface temperatures are in the low 40s. Reservoir operations, elevations and boat ramp levels can be viewed by hovering over icons on the US Army Corps Rogue Basin Teacup webpage.
