Family fishing event slated
at St. Louis Ponds April 15
The Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife will host a free
family fishing event April 15 at
St. Louis Ponds near Woodburn
from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The ponds will be stocked
with legal and larger-sized
rainbow trout shortly before
the event. ODFW will provide
equipment including rods,
reels, and bait for use during
the event on a first-come-first-
serve basis.
Angling
education
instructors and volunteers will
be present to answer questions
and offer assistance to less
experienced anglers.
St. Louis Ponds is a 54-
acre complex of seven ponds
jointly owned and managed by
ODFW and Marion County
Parks. In addition to stocked
trout, the ponds contain several
species of warm water fish,
including largemouth bass,
catfish, bluegill, crappie, and
sunfish.
Anglers ages 11 and under
can fish for free while those
12 to 17 will require a youth
license, which are available for
$10 at ODFW’s website www.
odfw.com. Adult anglers will
need a regular fishing license.
Licenses will not be sold
on site the day of the event so
people planning to participate
should get their license ahead
of time.

exit. Then go east to Hwy.
