Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 4,200 cfs at the Waterloo gauge.
Hatchery steelhead fishing is open year-round. So far around 1,600 summer steelhead have crossed Willamette Falls, and some of them have made it to the base of Foster Dam, but they can currently be targeted throughout the river.
Chinook salmon returns have really taken off with several days of over a thousand fish entering the upper Willamette this past week. In a week or two the South Santiam should have plenty of fish for anglers to target.
Hatchery trout harvest season reopened on May 22. Fishing with bait is only allowed between April 22 and Oct 31. Anglers are reminded that only fin-clipped trout may be kept.
