Best bets for weekend fishing
Find a place close to home to limit travel
Even with boat ramp and access closures, there are still plenty of opportunities to fish this weekend while observing social distancing guidelines.
Fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing remain open
Access may be tricky – know before you go
Fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing in Oregon remain open. However, Oregon State Parks as well as several cities and counties have closed parks, boat ramps and other facilities that could hinder access to your favorite spots. This list of closures changes quickly, so it’s a good idea to call the land manager and confirm access before you go.
Trout stocking schedule offline
Limiting congestion at stocking locations
We have taken down the online trout stocking schedule in order to prevent public crowding at waterbodies when we deliver hatchery fish. We will continue stocking trout but we will deliver on a slightly different schedule and at some different locations to avoid a rush of anglers showing up along with the hatchery truck.
NOTE: Local ODFW offices do not have access to the trout stocking schedule either.
