Summer steelhead fishing has been off to a great start this season. Bright fish are being caught throughout the system, with most of the effort being focused up near the hatchery. Spring Chinook are also being found lower in the system. The "early" component of the run is mostly comprised of wild fish, but some hatchery fish have been caught and more can be expected to show up in greater numbers soon.
Flow and visibility on the Sandy are greatly influenced by each passing front and change in snow levels. Colder temperatures, as well as less precipitation means this glacially-fed system will not only be on the drop but will also clear up much more quickly.
Anglers should confirm access before they go. All Metro Parks and boat ramps (including Dabney and Lewis and Clark) are now open but may have modified operations. Check conditions at individual parks on Metro's website. State parks and recreation areas appear open.
