ODFW staff in The Dalles contacted the local trash service provider for approval to modify trashcans. Please do not lock your trashcan or service providers may charge a “locked fee.” Use a carabiner instead. Your trashcan must be strong enough for a bear to stand on. Test yours before modification. If it collapses or the lid bends easily, it will not keep a bear out. Materials and Tools • (1) Heavy-duty Trashcan • (16) #10-24 x 3/8" Nuts • (16) 3/8" Washers • (16) #10-24 x 3/8" Machine Screws • (2) Steel Fixed-Eye Hasps (hinged or flat)* • (1) Wrench

Trout fishing opportunities abound in this zone, known for its high desert climate, sage-covered canyons, glacial peaks and mountain lakes. Anglers will find year-round trout fishing in the Deschutes, Metolius, Fall and Crooked rivers, while several central Oregon lakes and reservoirs are renowned for their trout and kokanee fishing – and their beauty. The Hood and lower Deschutes – both tributaries of the Columbia River – offer high desert fishing for Chinook salmon and summer steelhead.
Abundant rainfall feeds the massive Willamette River watershed, tamed by a system of reservoirs that are stocked annually with hundreds of thousands of rainbow trout. Some of these reservoirs also grow trophy-size largemouth and smallmouth bass, as well as bluegill, brown bullhead and crappies. Smaller lakes and ponds nearer the valley floor provide springtime trout fishing close to home. Salmon and steelhead navigate the Willamette River and its tributaries, many of which are also home to rainbow and cutthroat trout.
Game bird seasons in Oregon run from July 1 to June 30, which means you'll need to purchase new upland and waterfowl validations before you hunt again in the fall. If you have questions, please call ODFW licensing staff at 503-947-6101.
