Early season tout stocking in underway
It’s not too early to be thinking about trout fishing – in fact, in several North Coast and Willamette Valley fisheries stocking is well underway. Check out the 2017 stocking schedules for west side lakes/ponds and start planning your next fishing trip. East side schedules will be posted in late February or March, once biologists have a better idea when water bodies might be accessible.

ODFW will be at Pacific Northwest Sportsmen’s Show, Feb. 8-12 in Portland
Come visit with ODFW and OSP staff, buy a license or pick up some informational material. The ODFW booth is in Hall B by the kid’s trout pond. Or come for one of these special events:
