Mexican Fish Report

Winter steelhead fishing continues
Steelhead fishing conditions on many coastal rivers are close to perfect right now. Now’s the time to hit your favorite river if you can; with more rain in the forecast the great conditions may not last through weekend. Check out reports for the NW, Willamette and SW zones for more details.

Early season trout stocking is underway
It’s not too early to be thinking about trout fishing – in fact, in several North Coast and Willamette Valley fisheries stocking is well underway. Check out the 2017 stocking schedules for west side lakes/ponds and start planning your next fishing trip. East side schedules will be posted in late February or March, once biologists have a better idea when water bodies might be accessible.
