Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 1,200 cfs at the Waterloo gage. Approximately 16,000 Chinook have crossed over Willamette Falls with about 700 of these fish being counted at Foster Dam and fish ladder.
A few summer steelhead have already shown up below Foster, but the overall number of fish is still low. Fishing for smallmouth bass can be very good during the warm months below Lebanon. Anglers are reporting hooking into smallmouth bass already.
Trout fishing will reopen May 22. Anglers are reminded that only fin-clipped trout are allowed to be kept.
