My suggestions for trout would be to check out the coastal rivers like the Wilson, nestucca, and siletz. They are probly the closest coastal rivers to Sherwood. There you will find cutthroat trout residential and sea run starting in September. They will take a swung soft hackle better than any trout I know and can easily be searched for with an elk hair caddis.
Get the book fishing in Oregon that has helped me direct my search many times. Good luck I think you will like Oregon.
Great response!!My first suggestion is to go to the odfw website and look over the regulations. After moving home back to the Willamette valley from central Oregon (aka trout central) for 6 months I quickly realized I should find a new quarry I found that fishing the Willamette with streamers for small mouth bass and tossing dries to blue Gill and large mouth bass in the Willamette Greenway ponds and other warm stillwaters can be just as rewarding as any trout endeavor.

Bank access can be limited on some rivers but our state laws allow public use below high water marks its still a good idea to use your best judgment and respect posted property. You could also target carp in a lot of the mentioned warm waters mentioned check out carponthefly.com or any posts here by john Montana or igquick.
