Trout / bass / panfish / catfish fishing rules in OR

Trout daily limits vary by zone and water type: in lakes, the standard is 5 trout per day (3 daily limits in possession); in streams, 2 per day in most zones, with a 20-inch maximum size in NW/SW Zones (fish under 20 inches to keep) and a 20-inch maximum elsewhere. Bass limits in lakes are typically 5 per day with no more than 3 over 15 inches; no limit in streams. Bluegill, crappie, catfish, walleye, and yellow perch have no daily bag limit in most zones and are open all year in lakes and during trout season in streams; always verify zone-specific rules as they vary.
