Oregon
18,619 named waters · 13 stocked in the last 30 days
The Columbia River and its tributaries carry Oregon's salmon and steelhead runs, some of the largest anadromous fisheries left in the Lower 48. The Deschutes and Rogue rivers add legendary steelhead and trout water, and the state's fly-fishing culture is built almost entirely around these wild runs.
Oregon holds 18,619 fishable waters on the books. ODFW has logged 40 stockings in the last year, led by rainbow trout. The biggest water in the state is Upper Klamath Lake at 62,095 acres.
