Opening Day Update

With opening day of trout season this Saturday April 28, anglers who have been dealing with cabin fever should be ready to hit the lakes and streams of our beloved Oregon. We all should remember we got “bombed with snow” the last weeks of March and early April. Please, stay safe out there!

Crane Prarie: Crane Prairie Resort is open and the lake is ice free! Last check with the resort they did not know if the road to Quinn or Rock Creek launches had been plowed. The resort launch is open and you can get into Crane from Highway 58.

For those of you thinking of Davis, and Wickiup , they are open and should be ice free.

Gold Lake: Gold lake is closed for fishing until May 26 per the 2012 regs. The Middle Fork Ranger station says the road still remains closed and no one would say if the lake was ice free. Got snow shoes?

Hosmer, and Little Lava Lakes; Snow bound and the roads are not plowed into these lakes. Got snow shoes?

Metolius; fishing well but water is high due to run off.
Crooked River; fishing well, but high water due to run off

Diamond Lake:
Resort is open with the ice getting softer each day? From the Diamond Lake Resort web site picture, it almost a sure bet the North Ramp is the only ramp open.

We will be posting more updates as opening day approaches.

    Opening Day, always a great day not to fish, will meet my expectations. It is, and will be, an annual great day for fly fishing. You put your boat in, and fly down the river with high water and 4 rigged rods. Wooden Boat Show at Nimrod a much better bet. Beer, food, and beautiful boats, including two that Greg Hatten and Randy Dersham built to successfully run the Colorado last month.
