Summer steelhead fishing has been good on the Clackamas. Pressure has been decent, but there are a lot of bright fish being caught. Spring Chinook are also now in the system and starting to be caught. Number should only increase in the coming weeks.
The winter steelhead return continues to be excellent on the Clackamas River. The current run prediction is for over 4,000 returning adults. Only in 1962 and 1971 have we had more than 3,000 unmarked winter steelhead return to the trap.
Latest creel showed bank effort is mostly Dog Creek area. Boats were checked from Feldheimer to Carver ramp.
