No recent fishing reports. River levels best for fishing are at or below 3,000 cfs, and the river is currently running at around 1,160 cfs at the gauge in Mehama. Flows will likely be consistent for the rest of the summer. The spring Chinook run appears to be done for the year with almost all the fish now in their spawning tributaries. Anglers can target these fish through the end of August when the fishery closes to allow the adults to spawn in peace. So far about 23,000 adult Chinook have navigated above Willamette Falls as of July 23. Success will more likely come to those who fish early or late in the day.On the other hand, it looks like it's another disappointing summer steelhead run this year with only 930 fish having been counted so far. Fishing for hatchery steelhead is open year-round. Any unclipped (wild) steelhead or trout that are caught must be released unharmed.
