Ochocco Reservoir is fishing well, best up on the upper end near the creek mouth. Leeches are likely the best choice, with chironomids, damsels, minnows, scuds and callibaetis important food sources here too.

Some very nice rainbows were caught by some friends up there taking the boat up from the launch at the dam to the shoals near the confluence.
