The Wallowa River is a Designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. The river located in northeastern corner of Oregon just west of Hells Canyon Recreational area. The freestone river flows through the heart of Oregon's beautiful Wallowa Valley and is regarded as one of Oregon's better trout fishing stream, often producing fish ranging from 18 to 20 inches in size. The Wallowa also a good spring steelhead fishery, producing 23 to 29-inch fish from February through April 15. Closest Town is Joseph, Oregon with Wallowa Lake in close vicinity. Remember the Wallowa River is a whitefish factory. Whitefish can be a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing and can be great table fair. Simply tie in a small bead-head nymph dropper while fishing under a bobber rig and let the fun begin. Also, steelhead will often take a bead head nymph hanging under a jig. |
