Atlantic Salmon
Atlantic Salmon in Bend, Oregon? It's a non-native, very rare occurrence, primarily due to historical introductions and straying fish. While not a target species, anglers fishing the Deschutes River and its tributaries might encounter one. Spring and fall are the most likely times, coinciding with other salmonid migrations. Focus your efforts in the deeper pools and runs of the Deschutes, particularly downstream from dams or near the mouths of tributaries like the Crooked River. Be aware of strict regulations; these fish are not part of a managed fishery and likely require immediate release if caught. Before planning a trip specifically for Atlantic Salmon, it's essential to understand that targeting them is highly unlikely to be successful. Instead, enjoy the excellent trout and steelhead fishing the Deschutes is known for, and consider a potential Atlantic Salmon encounter a rare bonus. Check Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific details.
