American bullfrogs are not native to Oregon. They were brought in originally to control bugs and as a food source. They quickly outcompeted native amphibians, and they're known to e at our native Western pond and painted turtle hatchlings.

Today we're taking you fly fishing for bullfrogs, and then we'll show you our favorite way to fry them up.

You can help lower the number of American bullfrogs in your local ponds, lakes and waterways by gigging, fishing, spearing or hand collecting them, and it may help give our native amphibians and reptiles a fighting chance.
