CLACKAMAS RIVER: Winter steelhead
Though there are still some late returning coho in the system, most fish that might be present are currently spawning, or on the way to do so, and better left undisturbed. Winter steelhead are finally on the horizon, with rumors of a few having already been caught. Anglers can expect to find greater numbers in the system with each passing rain event throughout the winter.
To report poaching or other violations: Call *OSP or *677 (OSP on keypad). You also can call (800) 452-7888 or email [email protected] between the hours of 8-5, Monday-Friday. Take photos if it is safe to do so.
