Fishing Should Be Good

OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

Report Date:

http://www.dfw.state.or.us

Trout fishing should be good out at Selmac lake with multiple recent stockings in the last two months and another recent stocking of 3,000 legal trout last week. Bass fishing should also be good.

ODFW is aware of some recent dead bluegill at the lake. After sending samples to our fish pathology lab, the specimens appeared to have died from causes associated with recent spawning activity. However, ODFW is coordinating observations with Josephine County Parks and Department of Agriculture, and will continue to monitor the situation.

Lake Selmac facilities operated by Josephine County Parks are currently open. More information about Josephine County Parks can be found on their website.

Lake Selmac also has a recent non-native introduction of a bryozoan. Bryozoans are mossy like creatures that usually help to clean water and that are not typically harmful to humans.  However, this particular species has been known to harbor a disease that can be transmitted to salmon and steelhead. Please drain and dry your vessel if you are going to another water body and help stop Oregon’s aquatic hitchhikers!

Anglers are reminded that only 1 bass may be harvested from Selmac per day.
