A good number of fish have moved into tributaries or onto the mainstem spawning grounds. This has been a very good fall chinook year, along with summer steelhead, half-pounders and coho.

ODFW tracks hatchery survival and other important information through Coded Wire Tag returns.  Anglers with hatchery catch are encouraged to return adipose fin-clipped Chinook snouts to ODFW. A snout box with instructions is located inside the fish cleaning station in the port near the boat ramp. Thank you for your participation.
