Gales Creek Strawberry Festival

Fish

At some point between June 3 and June 7, an indeterminate amount of trout of unknown are scheduled to be deposited in Dorman Pond just west of the Junction of Highway 6 and 8. Despite soliciting the help of two public information staff at the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife to get more info, that’s all we’ve got. Some fish, at some point. It’s the last scheduled fish deposit in the pond for 2024.

For some more certainty, head to Hagg Lake, where 3,666 trout—1,000 of which will be “trophy” sized—are scheduled to be stocked in the same time period.
