Free Fishing This weekend in Oregon - June 4 & 5

Gavin Gooding, 17, of The Dalles, holds a nice trout caught at Taylor Lake last March. He returned this fish to the lake. Maybe it’s still waiting for you.

From ODFW:

The first weekend in June is Oregon’s traditional Free Fishing Weekend. And each year The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and its partners sponsor several free fishing events throughout the state. To find an event near you, and to check out other family fishing events throughout the spring and fall, visit our Take the family fishing page.
