116,108 Trout Stocked in These Oregon Lakes for Memorial Day Weekend

Sharing is caring!

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has stuffed Oregon lakes and streams with over 116,000 hatchery trout ahead of this Memorial Day Weekend.

To help you find some of those trout for yourself, I’ve broken down the ODFW’s data into several helpful tables.

The first table below ranks the 15 reservoirs, lakes and rivers scheduled to be stocked with the most trout during the week ahead of the three-day holiday. All of these spots are stocked with at least 2,500 hatchery trout, and some with many more and/or larger trout.

The second table gives you an idea by angling zone of where the most fish are stocked. Over time at least, stocking numbers somewhat reflect the numbers of anglers along with the seasonal opportunities and demand for trout fishing.

The tables that continue down this page are for each of Oregon’s angling zones, including the stocked locations and numbers of fish scheduled to be planted this past week. All together, well over 50 locations were expected to be stocked in that span.

You’ll notice that many of the bodies of water are hyperlinked. Click those links to reach articles with more detailed information about each location. I’m still in the process of updating some of those articles, but all will give you some additional insights.
