ODFW release - With high water, steelhead fishing this weekend might be tough. But early spring trout fishing for holdover or stocked fish could be excellent.  Be sure to check the regulations before heading out for Winter Steelhead. The runs are winding down and in several coastal locations, no fishing is allowed, however on May 22 fishing will open again for trout. The closure happens every year, to allow native steelhead spawning and out-migrating smolts to navigate the rivers.  The ice has continued to melt on several SE Zone reservoirs – like Beulah, Chickahominy, Malheur and Pole Creek – and fishing the open water for holdover trout should be very good. However late season snow and ice means some lakes are still frozen and roads impassable. Call a local biologist to find out if you can access your favorite fishing hole.  There's also plenty of open water on Howard Prairie, Hyatt Lake and Fish Lake, where early spring fishing for holdover trout can be good.  Haystack Reservoir continues to yield trophy-sized and brood trout in the 16-17-inch range!  Boats can now launch on Wallowa Lake – good news for trout and kokanee anglers.  Redband trout fishing from bank and boat is fair on Upper Klamath and Agency lakes.  Anglers are catching spring Chinook on the Columbia, Willamette and Lower Rogue rivers.  Kokanee fishing continues to be excellent on Lake Billy Chinook with fish averaging 13 inches. Tips for catching more kokanee.  These examples are for demonstration purposes only. Refer to the zone reports for more details and possibilities.
