Fishing Hogan Reservoir

Hogan Reservoir has recently seen improvements that benefit anglers. A new rock fishing pier was installed as part of a shoreline restoration project. The area's cottonwood trees provide shade for anglers during warm days, and bald eagles and ospreys are often seen hunting for fish in the reservoir.
