Oregon Opener April 28th Oregon's general trout season opens the fourth Saturday of April, which means that the 1990 opener will be April 28 - the latest opening date possible. The late opening could have important effects on some fisheries, such as those that are best right after ice-off. The shallow-water fishing for lake trout at Crescent Lake is best as the ice breaks up, so a late opening could mean that the best fishing conditions were before the season opens. When considering fishing areas that have been good in the past, check local conditions before going. If we have late spring, and late ice-off, then such fisheries could be as good as usual. Although many state waters ate open year-round, and a few do not open until later, this late-April opener is considered by most anglers to be the opening of trout season. There are many variations, however, so be sure to check the official angling regulations; they are available from any business selling hunting and angling licenses, any regional department of fish and wildlife office or the main office of the ORegon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Box 59, Portland, OR 97207 (503 229-5403).
