Haha, yeah man thats me!Are you who I spoke to in the parking lot at Dabney last night? Lots of new people on the river lately!
Maybe they were steelhead or salmon fry, definitely not whitefish or pike-minnow.Trout??? Not many in the Sandy. Were they whitefish or pikeminnows?
Nice, glad you found the forum. I got a fish after you left, posted it in the Salmon Show Off thread. There’s also a few tips in the other Sandy thread I started.Haha, yeah man thats me!
Yes coho and tule are in the river as well as some leftover summer steelhead this is a really bad water year for fishing the sandy unfortunately but they are being caught tule is a strain of wild chinook in the sandy right now good luck out thereI'm in greaham but drive by the sandy every morning to drop the kids off out in Corbett, it sounds like there's still time for salmon fishing but I'm new to it, are coho what's running now? And sorry for my lack of knowledge but what is a tule?
September and October are both good months. There will be dark fish around, but bright fish of both species will move in with the big rain. I do think a lot of fish have powered there way upstream despite subpar conditions, but there are more coming tooI guess September is the best month for Coho fishing at Sandy river, however which month is the best month for Chinook?
Stoked you found my post! Gonna head out to Dabney tonight. Thanks for being so helpful man.September and October are both good months.

It’s pretty dead. I missed one on Thursday night twitching jig, went out again last night and barely any signs of life aside from a couple chinook rolling around and a sturgeon jumping clear out of the water. It’s so dead I was the only one fishing the entire park. Good luck!Stoked you found my post! Gonna head out to Dabney tonight. Thanks for being so helpful man.
Yup, similar results for me last night. Man I watched a huge sturgeon go airborn at Dabney a few weeks ago and thought it was just a spectacle.It’s pretty dead.

Congrats!! Did you take any pictures?? What did you catch?I must say thank you for @scched
i’m new to NWP and salmon fishing. However his knowledge and information give me a motivate for get a fish.
Unfortunately, I haven’t catch any fish from Sandy river even after I tried 5 times fish there.
But I got a fish from Lewis and Lincoln City.
Thank you
Good to know, I almost hiked out there and fished the mouth on Sunday. Glad I didn’t now. Not really sure what the rain is going to do for us this weekend, I had been holding out hope. I haven’t given up yet but not TOO optimisticI trolled the big c @ the mouth of the sandy river with wiggle warts early Saturday morning no fish marked or rolling pretty bad wish I had a better report for you up river guys I'm sure there are a few getting through come on with the rain already
They won’t have died yet, they’ll have either already forced their way up river or they’re holding in deeper, cooler pools in the mainstream. My guess is a fair amount have forced their way up and we’ll get another push this weekendThis is the number of salmon this week. However a month ago over 30,000-50,000 salmon cross the Bonneville.
I wonder may be even rain come by now because of most of salmon run is finished already and a lot of fishes are die before rain comes?
