Description

Abstract: Crook County, located in the central part of the state, encompasses an area of approximately 3,000 square miles. The climate of this region is semiarid, characterized by low winter and high summer temperatures. There are at the present time only six bodies of water available for public angling within the county. Prineville and Ochoco Reservoirs are 3,000 and 1,200 acres respectively, and represent 95% of the total water area available to the public. The others are either small reservoirs or ponds with a combined area of less than 225 surface acres. An additional two reservoirs and two private lakes have been recommended for future development . The fishery consists primarily of rainbow trout and a light warm-water fishery in one of the reservoirs. The season opens in April and closes at the end of October, except for Prineville and Ochoco Reservoirs which are open to angling the entire year.
