Hwy 22 has been re-opened, although delays will continue and many access points to the river above Stayton, such as Packsaddle and Fisherman’s Bend, remain closed due to wildfire damage. 

No recent fishing reports. River levels best for fishing are at or below 3,000 cfs, and the river is currently running around 3,600 cfs

A few hatchery summer steelhead are still around. Fishing for hatchery steelhead is open year-round. 

The Coho salmon run has pretty much run its course, with very few live fish around and most beyond their expiration date. A few newer fish may still be available in the lower part of the river.  

Anglers should be aware that trout harvest is now closed and will not re-open until May 22
