Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, and Southeastern Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE

COLUMBIA RIVER from BONNEVILLE RESERVOIR to JOHN DAY DAM: Retention for sturgeon opened Jan. 1, in Bonneville and The Dalles reservoirs. Anglers are encouraged to read the 2006 fishing regulation changes on ODFW Web site for updated sturgeon regulations and seasons.

CRESCENT LAKE: No reports on angler success. Resort ramp is open. Weather permitting Crescent Lake provides good opportunity for lake trout, brown trout, rainbow trout and kokanee.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Opportunities for 8- to 16-inch rainbow trout and whitefish are fair. River flows have been very high for the last two weeks. Flows are approximately 700 cubic feet per second as of Jan. 30. Anglers should target the slower water at the margins. Nymphing is likely to be most effective.

DESCHUTES RIVER: Flows on the Deschutes River are currently very high and unfishable.

If these high flows subside, the area around Maupin should the best opportunity for catching summer steelhead. Prior to the high water, fly fishermen were having success with large nymphs and indicators. Those tactics will likely yield the most success when the high water subsides.

Although trout fishing can be slow during this time of the year, some fish can be found by fishing slow water and back-eddies with an indicator and nymphs. On warm gray days blue-winged olives should begin to hatch.

Anglers are reminded that fishing is now closed until April 22 on the Deschutes from the northern boundary of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to Pelton Dam.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Benham Falls): This reach of river provides opportunity for brown trout and redband trout. There are no recent reports from anglers who have fished the river recently.

FALL RIVER: No recent angler reports available at the time of this report. There is good opportunity for rainbow trout in the upper river.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Opportunities for 14- to 20-inch brown and rainbow trout are fair to good.

HOOD RIVER: Winter steelhead have started to enter the lower Hood River. Visibility is good this week and anglers are reporting catch of bright winter steelhead.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: The Metolius Arm is closed to angling until March 1. Opportunities for rainbow, brown and bull trout and kokanee in the Deschutes and Crooked Arms are good to excellent.

METOLIUS RIVER: No recent reports on angling activity. The Metolius River provides catch and release opportunity for rainbow trout and bull trout though there have been no recent reports from anglers. Please consult angling regulations for regulations specific to various reaches of river.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Opportunities for 10- to 16-inch rainbow trout are good. Boat ramp is operational.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Opportunities for 12- to 16-inch rainbow trout are fair to good. No recent reports.

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake, near The Dalles, has been recently stocked with legal-sized rainbow trout and should offer good angling opportunities.

SOUTHEAST ZONE

ANA RIVER: Fishing has been good for rainbow trout in the river. Excellent fly-fishing opportunities are available both for dry fly and nymph fishing. Check weather prior to fishing due to winter road conditions.

BEULAH RESERVOIR: The reservoir was 50 percent full on Jan. 30. No report on ice conditions. Water level is at the bottom of the boat ramp. Launching large heavy boats is still very difficult to impossible. Trout angling is slow.

BLITZEN RIVER: Special regulations are in effect. Catch and release for trout from Nov. 1 through May 27. Flow was 88 cfs on January 31.

BULLY CREEK RESERVOIR: Reservoir is ice covered, but ice is soft and unstable. Watch for thin ice. The reservoir remains at 69 percent full on January 30 and the boat ramp is still accessible. Angling for warmwater fish is slow.

BURNS POND: The pond was covered with ice last week. Watch for thin ice.

CHICKAHOMINY RESERVOIR: Watch for thin ice. The reservoir has filled 3.5 to 4 feet since late December, so ice around the edges is very thin. Recent warm weather has also caused thinner ice away from shore. Some anglers have braved the ice, but we have no angling reports.

FOURMILE LAKE: Access to the lake from Hwy 140 is by dog sled, skis, team or snowmobile. Lake is ice and snow covered.

GERBER RESERVOIR: Ice on the reservoir is beginning to thaw and ice fishing is dangerous.

KLAMATH AND AGENCY LAKES: Klamath Lake is covered with thin ice.

KLAMATH RIVER: Angling for native redband trout has been very slow on flies and lures.

LAKE OF THE WOODS: Recent warm weather has made ice extremely dangerous. Call Lake of the Woods Lodge for recent conditions (541-949-8300).

LOST RIVER: Angling has been slow for warm water game fish (largemouth bass, yellow perch, crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, and Sacramento perch.

MALHEUR RESERVOIR: The reservoir was not stocked this year. Water level is still very low.

MILLER LAKE: Access is limited due to snow. Lake is ice and snow covered.

MOON RESERVOIR: Watch for thin ice, especially with recent warm weather and possible increase in reservoir water level.

MURRAY RESERVOIR: Ice fishing for rainbow has been good.
