Anglers' Army Set to Charge
April 19 is “trout day” for
about 400,000 Oregon Anglers.
On that day this army of
fishermen will open a long
campaign of trout fish in
Oregon’s lakes and streams.
Without a doubt, most of
these intrepid fishermen will be
in the forward charge when the
invasion is launched at the
crack of dawn and will
continue the unwavering battle
until the general trout season
ends on October 31.
S port
fishermen
are
reminded that all coast streams
remain off limits to trout
fishing until May 24, as do the
high lakes and tributary
streams within national forest
boundaries in the Cascades and
Paulina Mountains. There are
numerous exceptions to the
high lake rule, so if anglers
have
any
doubts,
full
particulars will be found in the
1969 angling regulations.

weekend and several weeks
following will be complicated
by weather which could make
angling miserable, or perhaps
muddy the streams beyond

some areas will block off
popular lake' and streams until
later in th reason.
Along the coast, anglers can
expect some fine trout fishing
in most of the lowland lakes.
Many of these waters will be
stocked for the opening with
rainbow or cutthroat trout of
eight inches or more in length.

as a barometer, some of the
best trout catches by north

but the angler with bobber and
worm can make some fine
catches. Big Creek Reservoir at
Reedsport, Olalla at Toledo,

Trolling should produce the

from the bank or from small

the smaller lakes. The best
