Winter fishing conditions are here. With the Blitzen low and clear right now, redband trout will likely be found in slower deeper water this time of year.  The Steens Mountain loop road is closed for the winter but there is still easy fishing access to the Blitzen from Bridge Creek up to Page Springs Campground. There is now some ice on the edges and some of the slower glides and pools but open water can still be found. 

No recent fishing reports.
