No direct reports from anglers, but stories that some of the trophy trout have been being caught. Around 60 trophy trout have been stocked into Galesville last month. Water levels are high. Bass fishing may slow down this week with the cooler weather, but trout fishing should be good.‌

In Galesville Reservoir, all landlocked salmon and steelhead are considered trout and are part of the five-per-day trout limit, with only one trout over 20 inches long allowed for harvest. If you catch any fish in Galesville with a hole punch in the operculum (plate over the gills), please e-mail Levi.m.simmons@odfw.oregon.gov.
