Streams and rivers are now closed to trout fishing until May 22, 2018. Trout fishing in Tenmile, Eel and Saunders lakes is open all year.
Largemouth bass anglers will need to slow down their presentations as the water temperatures drop. Most bass will be found in deeper water near structure or weed edges.
Anglers have reported the fishing for yellow perch has slowed down. There are lots of small yellow perch so anglers will have to sort to find larger perch.
Steelhead anglers have reported catching hatchery steelhead at Spinreel Park and near the mouth of Eel Creek on Tenmile Creek. Eel Creek opened to steelhead fishing on Jan. 1 and some steelhead have started to return to the fish trap.
