Trout fishing can be quite good during the fall with good October caddis hatches that get the trout feeding.

Steelhead season opened on Sept. 1, though fish aren’t expected to be available in catchable numbers until later in the month. Across the Columbia Basin, the steelhead run is very poor, and fishing may be difficult this year. Additionally, some steelhead fisheries may require special regulations to conserve wild fish and ensure broodstock escapement to hatcheries. Anglers are advised to check the ODFW website regularly for updates to fisheries.
