Oregon's State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), officially approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on March 20, ensures continued federal funding eligibility and provides a science‑based roadmap to maintain healthy fish and wildlife populations, prevent further declines of at‑risk species, and reverse existing declines where possible. Along with the 2026 plan's approval, ODFW updated the user‑friendly SWAP website (formerly the Oregon Conservation Strategy and Oregon Nearshore Strategy) designed to help Oregonians easily navigate information about species, habitats and key conservation issues.

As the game continues, both teams (fish and anglers) get warmed up and start putting bigger numbers on the board.

Kokanee are delicious landlocked salmon that live in more than 20 Oregon lakes and reservoirs. They favor cool temperatures so they are most common in higher elevation waterbodies. Search for them on MyODFW.com and you'll get a lot of great information including a list of the locations where you can find them.
