This weekend will be pretty mild for January. Bass fishing may not be bad. Stripping a leech can be very effective. The first yea’rs trout stocking is not scheduled until mid-February.

All the aquatic weeds at Selmac have died off and water conditions look clear.

Lake Selmac facilities operated by Josephine County Parks are currently open. More information about Josephine County Parks can be found on their website.

Lake Selmac also has a recent non-native introduction of a bryozoan. Bryozoans are mossy like creatures that usually help to clean water and that are not typically harmful to humans.  However, this particular species has been known to harbor a disease that can be transmitted to salmon and steelhead. Please drain and dry your vessel if you are going to another water body and help stop Oregon’s aquatic hitchhikers!

Anglers are reminded that only 1 bass may be harvested from Selmac per day.
