When are the summer steel gonna start moving up this neck of the woods?
don't forget the redband trout!
I fish the river quite a bit down by D st. Do you fish by that cage in the water?If you really want to have fun in the Willamette, when it get nice and warm and the water drops, wade out off "d" Street and pot hole fish. We used to do that and got 1 or 2 nice trout per hole. It was a blast and we kept cool on a hot day. We also ran into a time when we got into the catfish hot and heavy off "D" Street. As fast as we reeled them in we had another, and they were good sized. We have never ran into that again. An old timer told us the migrate up and down the river and if you can find them the fishing can't be beat. Ah the memories of caught long ago are great. Tight Lines, Dan:clap:
Well if you really do want to get into depth about this,
I just ran across a list of fish in the Willamette (I couldn't see the Redband Trout, but I would think they are in there because of the Santiam.)
Some are listed as Absent (they don't exist in the Willamette anymore, just like the redear sunfish)
It is a PDF file, Scroll down to the bottom and it is the huge list on the right side.

:lol::lol: I would have never thought there were so many species in the Willamette, TENCH :shock:, I have only heard of Tench being from Europe. By the looks of this list, I am gonna have a lot of researching to do.

Most (if not all) of the fish that are listed in the lakes or tribs are listed as absent (meaning they are absent from the Main River). I believe that when they say Mainstem Abundance and Mainstem Location, they are refering the the Mainstem of the Willamette River (the Main River itself).
Are you talking about behind the Cannery?
As for the cannery? If you notice the people talking about the spots on the willamette live in eugene/springfield and you live in north salem so to your question. Different part of the river all together.
