Dear Sportsman, Roger Johnson & Grandson, Lonny
We had a very good fall salmon
season. My customers caught a lot of Coho and Chinook salmon. Our biggest
Chinook was 43 pounds. Even though Roger Johnson lost an even bigger
King salmon than pictured, he had a great time on his other trips. We’re
looking for a good Winter Steelhead and Sturgeon season
now underway on the Willamette, Clackamas and Sandy Rivers. The Sandy
River Winter Steelhead is a late-arriving species. A few early
winters have been landed between Dodge Park and the lower river. There
is good bank access along the river at Dabney, Oxbow, Dodge and Cedar
Creek Parks. (Continued on next page)

A few early winters have
been landed between Dodge Park and the lower river. There is good bank
access along the river at Dabney, Oxbow, Dodge and Cedar Creek Parks.
The Sandy River has always been one of my favorite local Steelhead Rivers. We started out the month of December without much rain and are
just now starting to make up for it. Once river flows begin to drop,
expect Steelhead fishing to improve dramatically. The weekends
will be an ideal time to get out and test the waters! I was just out Steelhead and Sturgeon fishing yesterday at Oregon City and
a few winters were landed, with some success found in the stretch between
Barton and Riverside. Anglers using the bobber and jig method or small
amounts of fresh eggs seemed to have the best success. Although
overall the catch rates were pretty slow for steelhead, we did do much
better for sturgeon on the Willamette River. Of course, you can’t
keep any of the sturgeon from the head of the Multnomah Channel to Oregon
City yet. I have been hearing that the Willamette River is doing better
than the Columbia for Sturgeon which is scheduled to be open
for keepers February, 2012. Steelhead fishing in Three Rivers
and the lower Nestucca River is slow to fair, and I’m looking forward
to getting busy with my favorite bait to on these rivers--fresh sand shrimp.
Winter Steelhead fishing is starting to improve on the Siletz and
fish can be found throughout the river. This week’s rain should bring
in more fish and move them up river. Bobber and jig plunking or throwing
lures are effective tactics during the right conditions.
