Thief Valley Reservoir is now full. The reservoir drained significantly last year, and there may not be many fish that survived through the fall and winter. However, the reservoir has recently been stocked with rainbow trout. Fishing will probably be best over the next couple months before the reservoir drops again due to increasing water releases in the spring and summer.
There was a recent report of observations of dead trout at Thief Valley Reservoir. However, ODFW district fish staff were unable to observe any dead fish when they investigated the report.
