Fishing should be very good

Lake Selmac - Selma, OR (Josephine County)

Both largemouth bass and bluegill are being caught at Lake Selmac, and stocked rainbow trout are available. Fishing should be very good. Anglers are reminded that bluegill can be found very close to shore, and it is easy to cast out too far and miss the fish.

Lake Selmac has its share of non-native aquatic hitchhikers. Boat anglers are asked to do their part to remove as much vegetation as possible before leaving the ramp, as well as drain and dry their vessel before boating in another waterbody. Lake Selmac is scheduled to be stocked this week with trout.

Please help stop the spread of Oregon's aquatic hitchhikers!
