Before you go

A Oregon fishing licence runs $50 a year for residents. ODFW sets the rules and is the one that counts.

What you may keep

ODFW sets a size or bag limit for 4 species here — 4 with at least one area open today. Where a species is open in one water and closed in another, its own page says which. Each page carries the agency's own figures, the date they were read, and what is still unsettled.

Can you eat what you catch?

That call belongs to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) — Oregon limits bass statewide over mercury, with further advisories on the Willamette and Columbia. We link the source instead of paraphrasing health advice.
