Portland/Metro - With the Willamette winding down, metro anglers will have to rely on tributary spring Chinook or summer steelhead opportunity, lake or reservoir trout or warm water species in local area lakes and rivers. With a depressed return of spring Chinook to the Clackamas and Sandy Rivers, most will focus on coastal opportunities as those are just now heating up.

Summer steelhead remains the best prospect for metro area anglers with the Clackamas and Sandy River systems putting out a few for persistent anglers. Low, clear water conditions are challenging for many, but knowledgeable anglers will find a way to garner success. Spring Chinook opportunity is best on the Sandy River.
