Your ODFW Fishing Reports


In the past year, we have received ODFW Fishing Reports from all over the state – thank you and please keep them coming! Our biologists use the information from your fishing reports to update ODFW resources like the Weekly Recreation Report.
Best bets for spring break fishing
Several water bodies have been stocked with trout just in time for the spring break. Check out the trout stocking schedules or Zone updates for locations. Winter steelhead anglers should keep an eye on water conditions, and be ready to hit the water when conditions are right.
Spring break wildlife viewing

Visit the ODFW Wildlife Viewing Map to learn where to see wildlife while you are out and about this spring. The Google-based map is available via the ODFW website and details 235 great places to see wildlife in the state, so there is sure to be a good site near you wherever you are.
