Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Flows are currently in great shape, about 1,560 cfs at the Waterloo gauge. ‌

Summer steelhead are off to a promising start this year, with approximately 8,500 adults having crossed into the upper Willamette River as of May 31. About 1,000 of these fish have already been counted at Foster Dam. ‌

Spring chinook numbers have also surged in the last weeks with counts at Willamette Falls now exceeding 9,100 as of May 31. Now that we are beyond April 22, bait restrictions are lifted and anglers can use bait through the end of October.
