Bass and panfish are available. Anglers caught a few largemouth around Thanksgiving on a Rage Tail crawfish and 5-inch Senkos. Trout stocking will begin in a couple weeks, providing opportunity for Valentine's Day.
Lake Selmac has its share of non-native aquatic hitchhikers. Boat anglers are asked to do their part to remove as much vegetation as possible before leaving the ramp, as well as drain and dry their vessel before boating in another waterbody.
Please help stop the spread of Oregon's aquatic hitchhikers!
