Highlights from the week's Recreation Report

Beat the heat with high lakes trout fishing
Legal-size trout are still being stocked in lakes at high elevations – and cooler temperatures. In addition, ODFW stocks hundreds of hike-in lakes for backcountry anglers. Learn more about high lakes fishing.

Switch your fishing focus to bass and warmwater
As water temperatures heat up and trout become lethargic, it’s time to focus on some bass, walleye, bluegill, yellow perch and other warmwater species. Check out the zone reports for all the opportunities.

Sign up for hunter education
The fall hunting season will be here before you know it. Hunter education is required for all hunters 18 and under, and is required for adult hunters in many popular, nearby states. Sign up now for a hunter education course (online, workbook or traditional) or field day.

Didn’t your tag? Here are some other options.
Leftover tags will go on sale July 1 at 10 a.m. They’ll go fast but here’s a list of what will be available. Also beginning July 1 you can purchase a point saver to gain a preference point and improve your future chances.
