Trout Stocked for Youth Fishing Event

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife — 3/29/2006

CLACKAMAS - Young people interested in angling can find a great fishing opportunity April 8 at St. Louis Pond near Woodburn.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is stocking 1,500 rainbow trout into St. Louis Pond as part of the Youth Angling Enhancement Program, now in its second year. ODFW staff and volunteers will be available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to provide access to fishing equipment and angling instruction. Contact the Clackamas ODFW office at 503-657-2000 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 Salmon Trout Enhancement Program Biologist Jeff Fulop. "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.

To find St. Louis Pond from I-5 take the Woodburn exit. Then go east from the exit to Hwy 99E. At 99E you head south to Gervais Road. Go west on Gervais Road through the town of Gervais. The road eventually changes to St Louis Rd. Continue west on St Louis Rd back over I-5 to Tesch Road, at the railroad crossing. Go left on Tesch Rd and follow the signs to the ponds. The event will be at pond # 3.
