Fishing will be slow until water temperatures warm up. Due to cold temperatures much of this river is under ice. If you feel the need to fish the Chewaucan River, try slowly stripping or swinging weighted flies and hanging beadheads under a bobber.
You can also try casting spinners across and downstream and slowly work them through deeper riffles and lower pools to catch fish. Concentrate on open water and deeper runs and pools.
Check the Oregon Water Resources Near Real Time Streamflow website for current flow information.
