Beginning January 1, from Klondike Creek upstream to Pomeroy Dam the Illinois is open for wild steelhead at least 24" in length, 1 per day and 5 per year, as part of daily or annual salmon/steelhead bag limit. The Illinois should be in great shape and fish are around. Reportedly fishing was fair over the weekend but should get better. Please remember the Illinois is artificial flies and lures only.

Consult the 2016 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations for more regulation information. Nonadipose fin-clipped rainbow trout and all cutthroat trout must be immediately released unharmed.
