Another 5,000 legal rainbow trout are scheduled for planting this week and there should be plenty around for anglers to enjoy.
As temperature warms, the largemouth bass and bluegill should start to become more active, as well.
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!
