River levels best for fishing are at or below 3,000 cfs, and the river is currently running at around 12,000 cfs at the gauge in Mehama. ‌

Fishing for coho salmon is just about over with most fish busy spawning and few new arrivals expected. Besides coho salmon there are a few summer steelhead around, but it was a very disappointing year overall for steelhead. Anglers can also target trout for catch-and-release. ‌

Fishing for hatchery steelhead is open year-round. Any unclipped (wild) steelhead or trout that are caught must be released unharmed.

The gate at Green's Bridge is open again. Anglers can bank fish or launch and retrieve boats there without needing a key. ‌

There are several large, downed trees in the river creating some dangerous hazards for boaters in the lower river. For more information check out the Oregon State Marine Board website. ‌
