Chewaucan River - Valley Falls, OR (Lake County)

The river is very cold and swollen as spring flows are coursing through the system. Fishing will get better when the stream temperature increases and flows lessen. Heavier weighted flies and lures might get to trout during this time of year. Plan for fishing to be slow.‌

The river is accessible. Redband populations are lower right now due to drought and recent wildfires
