Will be stocked the week of May 5th, with 1,000 hatchery rainbow trout.

ODFW will be hosting a Family Fishing event on May 3rd from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. These events are FREE, do not require registration, and all fishing equipment will be available to use for the day, anglers older than 12 do need a fishing license.

The canoe canal is open to fishing all year and is located within Alton Baker Park. A 4-acre pond at the midpoint of the canal is a good spot, as is directly behind Kowloon Restaurant. However, the canal can be fished all along its two-mile length from Day Island Road in Eugene to Aspen Street in Springfield.
