Illipah Reservoir is ~90% ice covered with only a few small areas of open water. Ice is ranging from ½ inch to 2.5 inches in thickness. All ice should be considered unsafe until ice becomes thicker. A total of 5,715 rainbow trout, averaging 8.6 inches was stocked. Fall shoreline fishing was good with anglers easily catching 4 to 5 fish per hour. Recent angler contacts revealed rainbow trout in the 10-to-14 inch range being caught. A few brown trout have been contacted, normally between 6 and 10 inches, however, one angler recent caught a nice 18-inch Brown Trout. Anglers will do well on Rainbow Trout with nightcrawlers, PowerBait, and spinners.
