Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 1250 cfs at the Waterloo gage. Fishing for chinook salmon is now closed until Oct. 15 in order to protect spawning fish. Many of these fish will be spawning at pool tail-outs in the first few miles below Foster dam. Please do your part in giving these fish the best chance to produce the next generation by keeping your distance from any spawning activity.
Fishing for smallmouth bass can be very good during the warm months below Lebanon.
Trout fishing remains open until Oct. 31. Anglers are reminded that only fin-clipped trout may be kept.
