Sturgeon fishing:
Still
some
nice
keeper
sized
sturgeon
to
be
found
in
the
Willamette.
You
will
have
to
really
look
around
to
find
them
however
because
many
of
the
popular
holes
aren't
holding
fish
anymore.
Best
overall
bite
has
been
in
the
lower
part
of
the
river
in
the
Toyota
hole
and
surrounding
area.
Some
good
fish
are
in
Multnomah
Channel.
The
upper
portions
of
the
lower
Willamette
have
slowed
dramatically.
It
appears
that
the
fish
that
didnt
get
caught
in
one
of
the
way
to
many
derbies
have
started
leaving
for
the
saltwater
a
bit
early
this
year.
The
Columbia
River
around
the
mouth
of
the
Willamette
is
starting
to
kick
out
some
nice
keepers,
no
big
numbers
of
biters
but
some
nice
fish.
The
gorge
while
still
very
slow
is
showing
some
signs
of
slight
improvements.

Spring
Salmon
fishing:
No
it
is
not
closed.
The
recently
announced
Ocean
closure
is
just
that
an
"Ocean
closure"
and
in
no
way
effects
the
springer
fishing
season.
Go
to
my
blog
to
read
about
it.
The
Columbia
is
closed
for
salmon
from
Bonneville
Dam
to
the
mouth.
The
Willamette
River
is
still
open.
The
numbers
of
fish
on
the
Willamette
are
much
lower
than
on
the
Columbia
but
considering
the
low
run
forecast
the
bite
has
been
decent.
Most
days
we
get
at
least
a
couple
of
chances
at
a
springer.
All
of
the
popular
areas
are
kicking
out
some
fish,
not
lots
but
if
you
put
your
time
in
you
will
most
likely
get
bit.
The
fish
this
year
have
been
real
sneaky
-
lots
of
quick
strikes
with
no
hookups
and
torn
up
baits.
I
hope
we
get
some
numbers
over
the
falls
soon
because
if
the
fishing
pressure
gets
heavy
and
the
bite
turns
on
in
a
big
way
it
may
close
as
well.

Steelhead:
in
between
time
now,
winters
are
done
and
summers
are
just
starting
to
trickle
in.
Best
bet
for
the
summer
fish
would
be
the
Willamette,
lots
of
nice
steelhead
being
caught
by
salmon
fisherman
in
the
Oregon
City
area.

Tired
of
Gill
Nets?
If
you
would
like
to
see
gill
nets
off
the
Columbia
and
over
harvest
reduced
in
the
ocean.
If
you
are
tired
of
the
Canadian
commercial
fleet
catching
all
of
our
fish.
If
your
fed
up
with
the
states
not
recognizing
the
value
of
sport
fishing.
If
you
are
tired
of
closed
or
shortened
seasons
on
the
Columbia
River.
If
you
feel
like
you
don't
have
any
say
in
our
fisheries
then
you
need
to
JOIN
CCA.
The
Coastal
Conservation
Association
has
been
instrumental
in
the
success
of
100's
of
projects
on
the
Gulf
Coast
and
East
Coast
to
reduce
commercial
over
harvest,
ban
gill
nets
and
to
restore
fisheries.
We
now
have
a
Pacific
Northwest
Chapter.
This
is
the
best
chance
as
sport
fisherman
in
this
region
to
speak
with
a
unified
voice
and
to
actually
be
recognized.
The
goal
is
to
reach
50,000
members
regionally
as
soon
as
we
can.
We
have
many
other
fishing
organizations
around
the
northwest
but
none
of
them
with
the
political
muscle
as CCA
-
just
ask
a
gill-netter
there
view
on
CCA,
they
are
very
nervous
about
this
new
northwest
chapter.
