Description

Abstract: The North Fork is a moderate-sized tributary originating at Waldo Lake and entering the Middle Fork Willamette near the town of Oakridge. The river and its tributaries contain approximately 160 miles of trout producing water. The habitat is generally capable of producing a good trout population. Native cutthroat and rainbow are present throughout the system and brook trout, having moved out of Waldo Lake, are found a short distance downstream. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to continue to manage the North Fork, Middle Fork Willamette River for wild trout. The Commission concurrently imposed a fly angling only restriction to fishing in this stream.
