Hunt, Fish, Explore Oregon
Nobody knows for certain what the weather will do this summer. However, ODFW is watchful in the likely event that drought and heat have a negative impact on fish. Regulations may change in some areas and access could be an issue in others. But there is always something to fish for and it could be a great summer to target Oregon's warmwater game fish. View the outlook for your favorite fishing zone this summer and good spots to target warmwater fish at the link below.
ODFW has partnered with Jamba to release limited-edition tumblers featuring five Oregon marine animal species in need. This partnership helps ODFW and Jamba raise awareness about the species in need and celebrate the fish and wildlife that contribute to make Oregon a wonderful place to live and recreate. $3 of every tumbler and $1 from every Sea Star Smoothie is donated to conservation efforts. Participate in the coloring contest to win a tumbler and more from Jamba!
Each year, ODFW stocks millions of trout in the state's ponds, lakes and reservoirs for anglers to catch and keep. If you're new to fishing, check out the Start fishing article for tips. And check the Recreation Report for current conditions.
