Description

Abstract: Baker County, located in northeastern Oregon, encompasses an area of approximately 3,100 square miles. The terrain varies considerably from the high peaks of the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in the north to the arid sagelands in the southern part of the county. Four types of angling waters are found within the county. The types are: (1) streams both large and small throughout the county, (2) natural lakes in the mountainous areas, (3) reservoirs and impoundments developed for irrigation or power production and (4) small ponds constructed or maintained specifically for fisheries management. The fishery consists of trout and warm-water fishes. Both brook and rainbow trout are available in the high mountain lakes. The reservoirs provide angling for both trout and warm-water fishes and the smaller ponds are stocked with rainbow trout. Angling in early spring is quite intense on the small ponds and larger reservoirs as the higher lakes are still snowbound and the streams are muddy from the spring runoff. During the summer and fall the angling pressure shifts to the mountain lakes and streams and decreases on the ponds and larger low elevation reservoirs.
