Rainbow Trout
While Tigard isn't exactly known as a trout fishing mecca, rainbow trout can be found with a bit of effort. The nearby Trask River and some of its tributaries, though a drive, offer opportunities to hook into some hatchery-raised and holdover rainbows. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as the water temperatures are more favorable and the fish are actively feeding. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times of day. A good starting point is the Trask River Hatchery, where you can often find trout stocked nearby. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) stocking schedules to see when and where trout have been released. Also, respect private property and only fish in areas that are open to the public. Keep an eye out for posted signs and be mindful of your impact on the environment.
