In late November, ODFW stocked lunker-sized fish in Huddleston Pond in Willamina, Sheridan Pond in Sheridan, and Junction City Pond in Junction City.
"These fish provide a great winter angling opportunity. They're really nice fish," said Hal Boldt, fish stocking coordinator for ODFW's Northwest Region. "Make sure you have fishing line with some strength."
ODFW plans to stock Eastern brook trout broodstock in the Junction City Pond this week. Additional rainbow trout broodstock will be stocked in the other four water bodies after Jan. 1. E.E. Wilson Pond will receive Eastern brook trout broodstock in January in preparation for its Feb. 1 opener.
Locations of each water body:
- E.E. Wilson Pond: Located at ODFW's E.E. Wilson Wildlife Management Area off Highway 99W near Camp Adair.
- Huddleston Pond: Located in the city limits of Willamina in Hampton Park, near the intersection of highways 18 and 22.
- Junction City Pond: Located three miles south of Junction City on the west side of Highway 99.
- Sheridan Pond: Located in Sheridan Wetlands Park, between the Federal Correctional Facility and State Route 18.
- Walling Pond: Located within the Salem city limits west of Interstate 5.
- Walter Wirth Lake: Located on the eastern edge of Salem in Cascade Gateway Park.
