Streams and rivers are now closed to trout fishing until May 22, 2018. Trout fishing in Tenmile, Eel and Saunders lakes is open all year.

Fishing for largemouth bass has been slow. Water temperatures are cold so anglers will need to slow down there presentations. Most bass will be found in deeper water near structure or weed edges.

Anglers have reported the fishing for yellow perch has slowed down. There are lots of small yellow perch so anglers will have to sort to find larger perch.

Steelhead fishing has been good on Tenmile Creek this past week with anglers catching hatchery steelhead at Spinreel Park and near the mouth of Eel Creek. Most anglers are plunking a Spin-n-Glo with eggs or drifting jigs under a bobber. Eel Creek opened to steelhead fishing on Jan. 1 and some steelhead have started to return to the fish trap.
