Best bets for Weekend fishing

  • The weather this weekend is looking good for a day on the water. Here are just a few of the available options:
    In the NW Zone, several waterbodies have been stocked with trout recently, including Cleawox, Munsel, Lost, Carter, Dune and Alder lakes, and Big Creek Reservoirs #1 and #2.
  • In the SW Zone, there have been trout stocked in Lake Selmac and Reinhardt Volunteer Park Pond.
  • And in the Willamette Zone, these waterbodies have had a recent visit from the trout stocking truck: Alton Baker Canoe Canal, Cottage Grove Pond, Cottage Grove Reservoir, Dexter, EE Wilson, Green Peter, Junction City, Sunnyside, Timber Linn, Walling and Waverly.
  • More winter steelhead are showing up every day in the Middle Rogue from Merlin to Galice.
  • Anglers report fair fishing for trout on the Fall and Metolius rivers.
  • A few hybrid bass are being caught in Ana Reservoir.
  • The Grande Ronde received a bump in flows earlier this week. Once the river drops expect steelhead fishing to pick up.
  • With some drier weather in the forecast, look for water levels to drop, and steelhead fishing to improve, in North and mid-coast rivers.

Introduction to hunting big game in Oregon

This two-hour course will provide new adult hunters with a broad overview of hunting in Oregon and more specifically the knowledge to get started on their big game hunting journey. Check for dates and times, and to register for an upcoming course.

Sign up for a hunter ed field day

If you were unable to complete a field day last year due to COVID restrictions, you’re not off the hook. The temporary rule expires on March 31, and you’ll still need to complete a field day before you can hunt for bear or turkey this spring. Find a field day.
