About Fishing at Lake Bonneville

Lake Bonneville is a public lake in Hood River County, Oregon, managed by Public land (PAD-US) — Oregon. It is public water managed for fishing by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Lakes and reservoirs across the West Coast typically hold largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, channel and blue catfish, black and white crappie, bluegill, and rainbow, brown and lake trout, with kokanee and other landlocked salmon present in many larger reservoirs -- species commonly documented across the region's public waters by state wildlife agencies.

Lake Bonneville covers about 4,771 acres in the Willamette Zone region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Wind River and North Lake.

Fishing Licence for Lake Bonneville

Anyone 12 or older needs an Oregon angling licence — the resident annual is about $44, the non-resident annual about $118, with a 1-day licence (~$23, which includes the harvest tag). To keep salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or halibut you also need a Combined Angling Tag (~$46 resident / ~$96 non-resident). Youth 12–17 pay a reduced fee and under-12 fish free. All boats, including non-motorized craft 10 feet and longer, need an Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit. Buy from ODFW at myodfw.com. An Oregon angling licence covers this water — it lies on public (PAD-US open-access) land; check the ODFW zone regulations for the specific season and limits.

Public access

Oregon’s navigable rivers carry a public right to the bed and banks below the ordinary high-water line; on smaller non-navigable streams over private land, access is by permission or from public land, and about half of Oregon is federal forest and BLM ground Trout limits are set by zone — commonly 2 per day in western Oregon, up to 5 in parts of the southeast, with bonus hatchery-trout allowances. Wild steelhead and most wild salmon must be released; only fin-clipped hatchery fish may be kept; always check the current Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for the zone
