Some trout fisheries are open year round.Thanks DirectDriveYes I notice that in terms of trout your season starts later than ours. In Scotland the trout fishing season begins, in general, around the middle of March whereas, from what i've read and heard, yours begins in either April or usually May and runs until the end of October? However, as you say, it seems I may be timing things well for the Steelheads, albeit from what i've read in the regs. it would appear that Steelhead run the Sandy (or at least can be fished) all year? Good to hear more info. about the Deschutes too. I read some stuff by a guy called Tom Rosenbauer who I believe is (or was once) connected with Orvis? He mentioned a long-held ambition to fish the Deschutes (don't know if he ever got there though? Haven't read anything too recent by him) I later got hold of a book called "Prospecting for Trout" which my wife Becky got me because I was interested in fishing for them between the rises, which that particular book focusses on. To some extent some of the techniques he described for U.S rivers translated quite well to Scotland, albeit some of the fly patterns described were different to what we would use here. However, fly choices for trout in the States, and the NW in particular, are for a different thread, especially as it's such a huge and subjective issue. I'm sure if I do a forum search that very subject will crop up

Thanks for clearing that up Rodger and TM! I wasn't aware of that.Just to be clear, the daily licenses allow you to fish for anything, they include 'tags' for the days they are valid. The annual license does not, you need to also buy a combined angling tag to fish for salmon/steelhead/halibut.
Cheers, roger
So, if you move to Oregon and fish a lot, it costs a lot of money to fish until you're there for six months? That hyardly seems fair...
You will have to forgive our resident "5th generation Oregonian" snob. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 97% of the present Oregon residents immigrated here from other states or counties. I came from Colorado at the ripe old age of 6 weeks and I'm fairly sure no one has ever called me "riff raff".I think the state simply wants to make sure a new resident is committed to staying rather than visiting and reaping our natural resources without knowing how precious they all are. There is a reason Oregonians are known as "tree huggers", we tend to value and protect our resources rigorously. Hang in there, it will pass fairly quickly compared to the next 20+ years. :thumb:
It would be for me, but not for ODFW. Sorry.I'm going to be buying a home in Oregon and selling the 2 I have in California. Isn't that committed enough. Also, my dad was born in Oregon...
