Hemlock may still be tough to access, but the road to Lake in the Woods is clear.Fishing should be good since the lakes have likely seen low pressure from anglers and spring is definitely the best time to fish these lakes.

The USFS has closed the campgrounds for the season, but will open back up when the road conditions improve. Anglers should be able to access the lakes from other areas. Anglers should check with the Umpqua National Forest (541-496-3532) for information on camp and ramp closures.

Anglers fishing the high lakes in the Umpqua District are encouraged to email fishing reports to Greg.f.Huchko@odfw.oregon.gov. Remember to only keep salmon and trout at least 8 inches long, and only one trout over 20 inches per day.
