: CLACKAMAS RIVER: Fishing has been fair for summer steelhead on the Clackamas while the winter steelhead fishery is about over for this spring. The summers can be found throughout the river from McIver Park down to Gladstone, giving both boat and bank anglers plenty of water to choose from. The spring chinook catch has shown some improvement in the past week, with fish hooked in many sections of the river from Rivermill Dam down to Carver. The bank anglers at McIver near the dam have picked up an occasional fish, mainly in the early mornings or just before dark; its a little early in the season for numbers of fish to be up that far but warmer water temperatures could improve the chinook fishery quickly. Anglers should make note that an angling deadline is clearly marked up near the dam and fishway; it is illegal to fish or even cast above this deadline. Monday hydrological data for the Clackamas has flows falling to 2,580 cfs, with a gauge height in Estacada of 12.51 ft. and the water temperature now up at 53°. Snow melt is expected to keep the river at these levels through the week. Reported by: Oregon D.F.W |
