All wild fish must be released unharmed.

The John Day River is considered by many to be one of the best fisheries for smallmouth bass in the country. Depending on the year, March-November are productive months. The largest number of fish are typically caught in the summer. Earlier in the season can produce bigger fish but conditions can be more challenging.
