Selmac was stocked with 5,000 legal-sized trout late last week. Largemouth bass, bluegill and black crappie fishing is winding down. ‌

Lake Selmac has its share of non-native aquatic hitchhikers. Boat anglers are asked to do their part to remove as much vegetation as possible before leaving the ramp, as well as drain and dry their vessel before boating in another waterbody.‌

Please help stop the spread of Oregon's aquatic hitchhikers!
