Description

Abstract: Josephine and Jackson Counties are located in the southwestern part of the state. The famous Rogue River Valley is the nucleus of the area. Most of the Jackson County lakes are in the Cascade Mountains. Josephine County has a few lakes in the Siskiyou Mountains at the south end of the county. The lakes included in this plan are either reservoirs or back country lakes. Some of the reservoirs were natural lakes but have been enlarged with the construction of a dam; others were formed by flooding a low meadow area. The fisheries differ as to locality and type of lake. The back country lakes have rainbow and brook trout; the large reservoirs are stocked with rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout, and one reservoir has kokanee salmon. The warm-water lakes and ponds support populations of bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. We have attempted to include are those existing and potential bodies of water that provide or could be developed to provide significant recreation at economically feasible costs.
