ODFW Recreational Report, Feb. 20

Fish for trout throughout the year – Did you know you can fish for trout, somewhere in Oregon, 365 days a year? This time of year, fishing for last year’s holdover trout can be excellent. And early trout stocking has begun in some west-side zones. Check out this week’s Rec Report for opportunities near you, and visit the Trout 365 page on the ODFW website for seasonal tips and highlights. Winter steelhead looks good for the weekend – After last weekend’s heavy rains and high water, flows are starting to subside and many rivers should be in great shape for the weekend. To help plan your trip, including access and fishing tips, check out the 2014 Annual Fishing Guide. Spring bear draw results available – Visit the My Hunter Information page or call 1-800-708-1782 to find out if you got your hunt. SW Oregon spring bear tags are sold out.
