There have not been any recent fishing reports, but due to irrigation season the river is running at approximately 30cfs instead of 60cfs. This will redistribute fish, but might be difficult to sneak up on them due to lower water levels. Ana River is a great match-the-hatch fly-fishing river with good hatches throughout the year. Hatches typically occur during the afternoon from 12-3 p.m. Small blue-winged olive mayfly hatches are typically best on overcast days with light rain. You do need an ODFW wildlife area parking permit to park along the river.

Flyfishing with beadheads under a bobber work as well as stripping minnow patterns in low light conditions. Tui chub are abundant in the river therefore casting large flies or lures can be effective for catching larger fish.

Patience is key when fishing this river. Seeing fish rising throughout the day is one thing, but to match the hatch and become efficient at fooling these wary trout is another. Keep at it and you never know when you will set the hook on a 25-inch trout! Bait fishing is allowed, and anglers can keep 5 trout per day.
