How many trout can you keep in Oregon?
The rules clearly state that anglers should only take home 5 small trout that are between 8-20 inches long. You are only allowed to take one of the trophy trout home per day, which is 20 inches or above. The hatchery trout limit is based on the size of the fish, not the number of fish you catch. This means that you can catch up to 20 trout in a day, but you cannot take more than 5 of those fish home.
If you want to catch more trout than that, you will have to go out and catch them yourself. The best way to fish for trout is with a rod and reel. You can also use a fly rod if you have one. For example, a 6-foot-long rod will be much easier to fly than a 10-inch rod.
