Oregon Fishing
With over 15,000 miles of streams, many lakes, and miles of coastline, Oregon has plenty of opportunities to go fishing. Thanks to its cold water, you can spend many pleasurable hours casting a line for the Chinook and Coho salmon, steelhead, rainbow, and cutthroat trout, striped bass, perch, crappie, blue gill, catfish and others fish species. Many of Oregon’s state parks and campgrounds have fish-filled rivers and lakes, so there are plenty of places to catch the big one!
