Echo Reservoir usually offers fair to good trout fishing and good action for smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Rainbows are common but there are also a few browns and cutts in the water. Less common but still present are walleye and black crappie.

Echo traditionally offers good ice fishing for rainbows and perch. During summer, smallmouth are relatively easy to catch in the rocks along the shorelines. Trout fishing slows during summer but picks up again in the fall.
