Welcome to the 2012
Spring Fishing Guide

Published every year

General Overview

The 2012 Spring Fishing Guide is also available in Word or PDF format.
See the "Take it with you ..." section in the left hand menu.


In the new Spring Fishing Guide, ODFW district fish biologists describe available access for boats and bank anglers, water levels, recent regulation changes, best time of year to fish, where to target your efforts, and tips on gear, lures and techniques for hundreds of rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs throughout the state.

In some cases they’ve also highlighted recent efforts to increase access and improve fisheries, as well as the results of recent creel surveys.

Use the guide by selecting the zone you want to fish and scroll to the water body.

In addition to the Spring Fishing Guide, ODFW offers many other Web resources for both the novice and accomplished angler.
