Bait vs. Lures

Tools

In an effort to protect the dwindling population of native "McKenzie redside" rainbow trout, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife biologists are recommending an "artificial flies and lures only" regulation for a 16.5-mile section of the upper McKenzie River. 

If adopted by the Fish and Wildlife Commission at its September meeting, the proposed rule change would mean an end to the use of worms, salmon eggs, Power Bait, sand shrimp and other popular baits on the most heavily stocked section of the river. Read more about it here...
