Fishing in hot water
With extreme temperatures in the forecast, fish will start feeling the heat. Give them a break by remembering these five tips for fishing when water temperatures are high.
Anglers: Know before you go
The best advice for fishing this weekend is to “know before you go.” Hot and dry conditions continue to make for challenging fishing. Check the zone reports to get the latest updates on water conditions, run updates, boat launch availability and access – wildfires this year and last have closed access to some locations. Oh, and there be a few recent reports of angler success as well.
Best bets for weekend fishing
As the hot, dry conditions continue fishing is getting tough. But there are a few bright spots, such as:
- Resident and sea-run cutthroat in coastal rivers and streams.
- Trout in higher elevation locations like Diamond Lake, Applegate Lake and Lost Creek Reservoir.
- Smallmouth bass in the Coquille and South Umpqua.
- Chinook and steelhead in the North Fork Santiam.
- Fly-fishing on the Upper Williamson River and Wood River where grasshopper populations have exploded.
- Ocean salmon and rockfish.
- Crab on the central coast.
Be sure to check the zone reports for more options!
