I stopped by the Mel at 6am Saturday on my way up the Clack & Eagle .. One of the less cranky guys said he'd seen "about thirty" winter steelhead caught there "last week"....which probably translates in realistic terms to about twenty caught in the last two weeks. If you like that kind of scene, it's time to go for it, especially with levels dropping. Looks like a promising run.
What i was taught was to go not even 10-15 ft away from shore. And if you can spot where the water is separated from fast and slow...that would be a good spot.... maybe im wrong tho?
Anybody ever fish the mouth of the Clack from the Clackamette park side? Any luck?
