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

CENTRAL ZONE

BIG LAVA LAKE: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Fishing with artificial flies and lures only. Anglers fishing with bait will now be ticketed. While flows in the Crooked River are holding steady between 70 and 80 cfs, fishing is still good. Trout were hitting dry flies regularly over the weekend, while subsurface action seemed to be slow.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to Warm Springs): Steelhead angling has been good on the Deschutes between South Junction and Pelton Dam. Fish are currently spread throughout the lower 100 miles of the Deschutes. Angling for steelhead in the upper stretches (South Junction, Trout Creek, Warm Springs) has certainly been quite a bit better than the rest of the river.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Lake Billy Chinook to Benham Falls): Angling in this reach is reportedly fair for both rainbow trout and brown trout.

EAST LAKE: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

FALL RIVER: The river below the falls closed for fishing on Oct. 31. The river above the falls remains open the entire year, and is restricted to fly-fishing only. This is a popular winter fishery for fly fishers.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Anglers reporting successful fishing for trout, kokanee and bullhead catfish.

HOOD RIVER: The Hood River is clear due to glacial freezing and early snow on Mount Hood. Catch rates for summer steelhead have been good. Anglers are also reminded that retention of non fin-marked coho and chinook is prohibited in the Hood River.

HOSMER LAKE: The road to Hosmer Lake closed due to snow on Nov. 4.

KINGSLEY RESERVOIR: Kingsley was recently stocked, and should provide excellent fishing opportunity. Adult excess hatchery steelhead from Hood River have recently been stocked.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: The emergency regulation eliminating the 25 fish bonus bag on kokanee expired on Oct. 27. The bonus bag will be in effect until Dec. 31. However, anglers should note that the Metolius Arm of the reservoir closed Nov. 1, and that the vast majority of adult kokanee left the reservoir and spawned in the Metolius River over the last six weeks. Therefore, there are very few kokanee of catchable size (larger than 8 inches) currently in the reservoir.

LAURANCE LAKE: Laurance Lake closed to fishing Oct. 31.

LOST LAKE: Lost Lake was recently stocked and should provide anglers good opportunity.

METOLIUS RIVER: Fishing above Allingham Bridge closed Oct. 3, but trout fishing below the bridge has been good.

NORTH TWIN LAKE: There is good opportunity for 8 to 12-inch rainbow with the potential for larger fish up to 18 inches as the water temperature starts to drop.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Bait fishing is not allowed. Artificial flies and lures only, and regulations allow no more than two trout per day with only one trout greater than 20 inches and no trout under eight inches.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Reports of good angling for rainbow trout.

ODELL LAKE: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

PAULINA LAKE: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Bass and trout anglers have been reporting great success.

SIMTUSTUS LAKE: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

SOUTH TWIN LAKE: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.

TAYLOR LAKE: Taylor Lake was recently stocked and should provide excellent fall trout fishing opportunity. Taylor Lake is also a good location to catch carp on the fly.

WALTON LAKE: Although gate to campground is locked, anglers are still allowed to fish the reservoir. Trout anglers have been reporting success with artificial flies and lures. Trout are difficult to target with bait due to a population of illegally introduced and stunted bullhead catfish.

WICKIUP RESERVOIR: Closed to fishing Oct. 31.
