Fishing Derby a Success
The annual Laketown Fishing Derby concluded
this past weekend with great success! Next year
we enjoyed the addition of an Aquaculture
Workshop taught by graduate students from
Oregon State University Department of Fisheries
and Wildlife. Approximately 30 high school and
college students attended the workshop. The
students learned about the life cycle of hatchery
Steelhead.
The Fishing Derby concluded with a special Kids Day involving 75 grade students from
our local Laketown Elementary School who were taught how to fish for trout.
The general public was invited to assist the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in
releasing approximately 1000 legal sized trout for the kids to catch. The students
received jet boat rides and lunch was provided. The Fishing Derby raised approximately
$60,000.000.
Don’t Forget Your License
Have you renewed your fishing license for next year?
Be aware that troopers of the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division are
patrolling our area. While approaching the vehicle the trooper noticed a salmon in the bed
and a cooler. Subsequent checks revealed several steelhead were in the cooler. Neither
the steelhead nor salmon were on the harvest cards. Two of the four subjects were cited
for Failure to Validate Harvest Card.
All subjects were warned for angling in a closed area. Don’t let this happen to you, ok!
Make sure to renew your license and validate your harvest cards with your catch.
Fishing All Year
The weather is beautiful all year and the water at the lake is surprisingly warm for most
of seasons. Average water temperatures fluctuate from a chilly 46 degrees F in February
to an inviting 80 degrees F in August. Don't let cold weather at home scare you away,
because fishing on our lake is fabulous all year!
