Summer steelhead are still around, along with some spring Chinook, though they are now mostly in the "spawner phase" of their life cycle. Coho are in the system and can be found in decent numbers in the lower river, with more expected to enter the Clackamas each day and with every passing rain event. Coho numbers are expected to be solid again this season.

The mouth of Eagle Creek is a popular and crowded location for targeting these fish on the Clackamas. OSP keeps a close eye on this area and often writes many citations for snagging and other fishing violations.

To report poaching or other violations: Call *OSP or *677 (OSP on keypad). You also can call 800-452-7888, or send an email to [email protected] between the hours of 8-5, Monday-Friday. Take photos if it is safe to do so.
