Summer Steelhead Are Currently Being Caught

Summer steelhead are currently being caught in the Clackamas and can be found throughout the system. Spring Chinook are present, though in low numbers as it is still early in their season. “Hoot owl” restrictions are currently in effect, which means no fishing after 2 p.m.

Flow and visibility on the Clackamas will be affected by each passing front and change in snow levels.

USGS hydrological data readings from the Estacada gauge near Milo McIver State Park. Hydrologic data and river forecasts can also be accessed on the NOAA/National Weather Service NW River Forecast Center -- NW River Forecast Center.
