Six Inch Trout Limit Debate Sparks Angler Protest
Anglers in Coos County and a pig club push the state to adopt a six inch trout limit across streams like the Ogee River and South Umpqua. They argue the current eight inch rule harms fishing as migrations of young silversides and trout render the policy illogical, with many waters still offering legal eight inch catches while others would benefit from a June first six inch start. The issue hinges on migration timing and season openings, with readers urged to continue to Page six for further details.
