PENDLETON, Ore — Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife managers remind anglers that McKay Reservoir open for fishing. The reservoir is located six miles south of Pendleton.  The daily catch limit for bass is three per day and the minimum length is 15 inches.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife established a temporary rule that opened the reservoir to angling from March 1 to September 30, 2007.  However, the rules normally listed for the reservoir in the Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations were inadvertently left out of the 2007 regulations book. 

For more information about fishing at McKay Reservoir consult the weekly recreation report at www.dfw.state.or.us/RR/ or contact the Pendleton District Office at 541-276-2344. 

The mission of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is to protect and enhance Oregon's fish and wildlife and their habitats for use and enjoyment by present and future generations. The agency consists of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, a commission-appointed director and a statewide staff of approximately 950 permanent employees. Headquartered in Salem, ODFW has regional offices in Clackamas, Roseburg, Bend, and La Grande with ten district offices located throughout the state.
