Trout Fishing
Trout in Oregon are plentify from the high lakes in central Oregon to the costal lakes on the Oregon coast. There are a large variety of trout depending on where you choose to fish. I normally catch rainbow trout, cut throat trout, and the sean run cut throat trout, which will go out into the ocean and return to the rivers. The trout will be various sizes depending on the river and the time of year. There's nothing better than fresh pan fried trout for a shore lunch.
Steelhead are a trout that leaves the rivers as a smelt three to six inches long. It goes out to sea and returns after a couple of years. These fish are prodminatly found on the coastal rivers and they normally start arriving in November and run through March and some places April. Now this is what we call our winter steelheaad. Some rivers have great runs of summer steelhead which will start in March and run through October. They have the ability to spawn and return to the ocean and repeat this process several times.
Steelhead are known for their fiesty nature and the arial show they put on above the water...Let's just say they like to show off.
Be aware, there are exceptions to all the rules, and we reserve the right to fall back on that statement. lol, Harmless.
