No recent fishing reports. River levels best for fishing are at or below 3,000 cfs, and the river is currently running around 2,200 cfs at the gauge in Mehama. Flows will be in good shape this week with the expected dry weather.

Summer steelhead counts at Willamette Falls were much improved over last year with the count now up to 5,900 fish. Counts at Stayton show over 900 summer steelhead have entered the upper river. Some of these fish are still around and are available to anglers. 

Fishing for hatchery steelhead is open year-round. Trout season below Big Cliff dam closed on Nov. 1. Bait is not allowed from Nov. 1 through April 21. Any unclipped (wild) steelhead or trout that are caught must be released unharmed.
