NORTHWEST ZONE FISHING Weekend fishing opportunities: · Fresh spring chinook are still entering the Nestucca and Tillamook basins. Prospects are fair as water conditions are low and clear. Fish early for best results. · Angling for sea-run cutthroat in tidewater areas should begin to improve as we move into July. NORTH COAST LAKES Cape Meares Lake was not stocked as previously scheduled due to excessively warm water temperatures, with fish being diverted to Hebo and Town lakes. Other lakes were stocked as scheduled. Lost Lake received some surplus trout from Nehalem Hatchery last week. No further trout stocking is scheduled until September. The 2009 stocking schedule is available online. Angling for warmwater fish, particularly bass, should be good. Cape Meares, Lytle, Cullaby, Sunset, Coffenbury and Vernonia lakes offer fair to good populations of warmwater species. Weed growth will begin to make angling difficult in some areas. |
