HOOD RIVER: spring Chinook, winter steelhead, rainbow and cutthroat trout
Spring Chinook fishing opened on the Hood River on Monday, April 15. A couple Hood River spring Chinook PIT tags have showed up over Bonneville this week. The peak of spring Chinook fishing on the Hood will be around Memorial Day.
There are still some Hood River steelhead coming over Bonneville Dam. There are still fish in the river, but trap operators on the Hood are starting to see more kelts, indicating the run is winding down.
Bait is allowed and bag limit is 3 hatchery steelhead per day. Last updated 4/24/24.

HOOD RIVER: spring Chinook, winter steelhead, rainbow and cutthroat trout
Spring Chinook fishing opened on the Hood River on Monday, April 15. We haven't seen any Hood River spring Chinook PIT-tags come over Bonneville yet, and daily counts over dam are still low. The peak of spring Chinook fishing on the Hood will be around Memorial Day.
Conditions are looking really good for steelhead fishing on the Hood River for the next week. There are fish throughout the system and the run is about at its peak near the mouth.
Bait is allowed and bag limit is 3 hatchery steelhead per day. Last updated 4/17/24.
