Anglers have been reporting good trout fishing lately between Warm Springs, Mecca, Trout Creek and Maupin. ‌

If you harvest a steelhead with an external orange tag that reads "ODFW THE DALLES" please call 541-296-4628 to report the tag or fill out this form online. If you catch a wild steelhead with an orange tag, please leave the tag in place and release the fish unharmed. These tags are a part of the annual lower Deschutes mark-recapture population estimates conducted by ODFW. ‌

A reminder the Warm Springs Fishing permit access from Dry Creek to Trout Creek closed on Oct. 31. Fishing is still open east of the main channel and on the east bank of this section. Click here for more information about CTWS Fishing Permits.
