Fish Report
Summer steelhead have started to enter the lower river

Summer steelhead have started to enter the lower river. ODFW will be watching the run very closely in 2022. Possible closures may come into effect if the run is predicted to be too low.
Anglers are catching seemingly good numbers of Chinook with lots of pressure throughout the open area. With cooler water, anglers should be able to target Chinook well into June.
Remember only one wild spring Chinook adult per day and ten per season may be kept on the North in 2022. Anglers may still retain one additional Chinook per day if it’s a hatchery fish.
With the low population of summers in 2021, anglers are reminded to handle fish with extra care this year. Practicing good catch-and-release techniques will help ensure we have fish in the future.
Trout fishing is open year-round upstream of Slide Creek Dam and in tributaries in this section. Fishing above Slide Creek Dam can be a great idea after the snow melts.
