About this water
Merrill Creek Reservoir is a 650-acre impoundment in Warren County known for excellent trout fishing, particularly for large rainbow and brown trout. The reservoir is managed cooperatively and offers boat and shore fishing access, with trout stocking occurring regularly throughout the season. The deep, cold waters also support a healthy smallmouth bass population.
