CLACKAMAS RIVER: Summer steelhead
Steelhead fishing has been productive in the Clackamas River, and more Chinook are showing up every day. Try targeting these fish with bobber and jig methods or spinners. Early summer steelhead returns to the Willamette River have been relatively strong, suggesting good fishing prospects on the Clackamas in the weeks ahead.
