I may be in the Portland area on the 24th or 25th of Jan (in 2 weeks).
Is there any good spots around there to catch a steelhead? Preferably on a fly rod but I'll have my spinning gear as well. Thanks in advance.
The clack isn't very dirty (from what I see in the pics) as it used to be. Just very high waters.Joe, the best bets for the metro area are the Sandy or the Clackamas. Depends on which part of Portland you are headed to. I just got back from the Sandy it is running high fast and dirty. Fishtopher has a fresh post up with pictures of the Clackamas (stuff related to fishing section). It is up and high. I'll try to keep you post on the river conditions because they can changerather quickly.
I should have been a little more clear. I don't have to be fishing in portland. I'll be passing throuhg on my way to Seattle. I could travel in different directions from there up to 30 or 40 miles.
Of course this is all weather pending. If the waters blown out, I might just have to catch a movie
As everyone is talking about, the clackamas and sandy rivers would be good. I havent been out yet but those are the two rivers to give a try. Drift fishing is probably the way to fish, as everyone else is.
If "everyone" is drift fishing, then what are those people with floats and flyfishermen doing?
