Trout fishing has wound down for the summer, but some may still be caught. Fishing for Largemouth bass and panfish should be good all summer. Illegally introduced carp are also available, and anglers are encouraged to harvest and remove these fish. Expo Pond is the pond at the Jackson County Fairgrounds located directly adjacent to the access road at Gate 5, at the Southern Oregon RV Park.

There are Chinese mystery snails in the most northern pond. They are highly invasive and were illegally dumped here. Please do not move these creatures and drain and dry any personal watercraft before using them in another waterbody.
