Fish Report for 11-17-2022

As winter approaches and temperatures drop expect fishing to be slow

OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

As winter approaches and temperatures drop expect fishing to be slow. If you feel the need to fish the Chewaucan River, try slowly stripping or swinging weighted flies and hanging beadheads under a bobber

You can also try casting spinners across and downstream and slowly work them through deeper riffles and lower pools to catch fish. Concentrate on open water and deeper runs and pools.

Check the Oregon Water Resources Near Real Time Streamflow website for current flow information.
