Trout Stocked For Youth Fishing EventOregon Department of Fish and Wildlife — 3/13/2006Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is stocking 1,000 rainbow trout into Garden Lake as part of the Youth Angling Enhancement Program, now in its third year. ODFW staff and volunteers will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to provide access to some fishing equipment and angling instruction. Contact the Springfield ODFW office at 541-726-3515 for more information. The stocking program was made possible through a $50,000 appropriation from the Oregon Legislature and a partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation, which has pledged an additional $50,000 and is working with ODFW to develop and promote youth fishing opportunities throughout the state. "This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce children to the fun of fishing and encourage participation in outdoor recreation activities," said ODFW Fish Biologist Jeff Ziller. "A lot of credit goes to the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation for all their hard work and financial contributions to help make this event possible." Under Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations, anglers under the age of 13 can fish for free. A juvenile license is required for anglers 14-17 years of age. All other anglers must have an Oregon adult fishing license. All fishing regulations continue to apply. Garden Lake is located in Garden Lake Park in Creswell. From I-5, take exit 182, the Creswell exit. Take the southbound exit off I-5, travel east on Cloverdale Road across the freeway and turn north on Melton Road. From the northbound exit off I-5, cross Cloverdale Road and proceed north on Melton Road. Go north on Melton Road approximately 1/3 mile to Garden Lake Park.
