No recent reports from anglers except an indirect report of a trophy trout being landed. Around 40 trophy trout (>8lb) have been stocked into Galesville last month. This week may be slow for fishing at Galesville.‌

In Galesville Reservoir, all landlocked salmon and steelhead are considered trout and are part of the five-per-day trout limit, with only one trout over 20 inches long allowed for harvest. If you catch any fish in Galesville with a hole punch in the operculum (plate over the gills), please e-mail Levi.m.simmons@odfw.oregon.gov.
