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.
