Fishing in Oregon

Oregon is a Pacific fishing powerhouse. The Columbia and Willamette rivers see legendary Chinook salmon and steelhead runs. The Deschutes, Rogue, and McKenzie rivers are fly fishing icons. Offshore, the Astoria and Brookings areas hold halibut, lingcod, and Dungeness crab. Crater Lake holds rainbow trout, and eastern Oregon's reservoirs offer excellent bass and walleye.
