Fish Report for 7-31-2024

Fishing was fantastic mid July

7-31-2024
OR Department of Fish & Wildlife Staff

Fishing was fantastic mid July. Trolling flies behind a float tube and casting towards rising fish were productive for fish in the 10- to 15-inch range. Using bait or casting lures can also be quite effective. The water is warm so wet wading is also an option.‌

This is a great 2.5 mile hike into the Gearhart Wilderness. Don't forget your mosquito spray! Access is available via the North Fork Sprague Trailhead and the trail Has been cleared.
