Brook trout can be found in clackamas river just above north fork reservoir I fished north fork and caught like 3 of them on a worm. But If I was you I would take a drive up to Clear lake in mount hood and fish near the creek in the winter using worms,crappie jigs or salad shrimp. I did some ice fishing 2 years ago there and caught a nice 20 inch brook.
Yellow Perch can be found mostly anywhere on the willamette/columbia I fish for perch in January near oaks bottom refugee , if you park at oaks park you can go on the trail and walk until the houses on the water end and you will see the tube that connects the pond with river and fish there closer to the houses, the water is warmer there and you can catch some nice sized perch sometimes you'll get a jumbo perch using a worm off the bottom, also you will catch a lot of whitefish,largescale suckers,carp,catfish.
In the springtime if there's water flowing from the tube you can catch lot's of white crappie and smallmouth bass, I caught a 19 inch crappie there using a glow in the dark crappie jig.
Warmouth I caught only 1 small one in clackamas cove where the creek enters the clackamas river, I was catching bluegill/bass there and caught a small warmouth.
The Willamette River has ~65 species in it. Do you need to catch them on a rod?
What TD said ^^ You'll probably find the biggest variety of species at Hagg lake or the Tualatin river.
For brook trout..Head to mirror lake, it's a mile before gov't camp..you can catch at least 30 or 40 brookies there a day.
You're not gonna find bull trout anywhere near Portland, and most places it's illegal to target them.
I've caught some weird fish in Fanno creek..on a fly rod, no less.
St Louis ponds thirty minutes south of portland has white crappie warmouth red ears and some other cool fish.

tgerke1, where you located? Looks like in Portland. Want to be as close to you as possible with any suggestions. Know of many crappie and warmouth hangouts. If you want multi-species, try Willow BAr area of Sauvie's, just past the marina and across the mouth of that small bay. Everything from walleye to flounder! Might have to walk a ways, tho. Parking is at a premium and you will need your wildlife preserve parking permit, I think. There used to be some pretty good butter clams at that beach, as well. Have not fished there in many years.
