Summer steelhead fishing was very good earlier this season and some fish are sure to be found throughout the river. Spring Chinook are also still around, though the bulk of the hatchery run is over. Wild fish are throughout the upper basin and have already been found beginning to spawn.

Coho fishing should be great this season. Some fish have already been caught in the lower river and more will show up as soon as weather/flows allow.

Flow and visibility on the Sandy are greatly influenced by each passing front and change in snow levels. Colder temperatures, as well as less precipitation means this glacially-fed system will not only be on the drop but will also clear up much more quickly.

Anglers should confirm access before they go. All Metro Parks and boat ramps (including Dabney and Lewis and Clark) are now open but may have modified operations. Check conditions at individual parks on Metro's website. State parks and recreation areas appear open.
