Central Oregon Lakes to Remain Open for Fishing in Winter


Having worked as a project manager as well as the director of emergency maintenance for Multnomah County, Oregon, Joe Rizzi has experience in a variety of leadership positions. During his free time, Joe Rizzi enjoys fly fishing.

In previous years, October 30 marked the end of fishing on many lakes in central Oregon. But with the adoption of new state regulations for sport fishing, fishermen will have more time to enjoy the sport. With the new regulations set by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, lakes that previously closed in winter will remain open. These include East Lake, Big Lava Lake, and South Twin Lake. 

The change comes as part of the state’s goal to simplify sport-fishing regulations, while balancing conservation and management of the lakes. State officials would like to keep them open as long as possible for anglers to enjoy throughout the winter months, offering ample fishing opportunities before weather creates access issues.
