The Guide's Forecast: July 21-27
The Guide's ForecastThrough Wednesday
Willamette Valley/Metro: With the summer chinook closure earlier this week, anglers will again focus on summer steelhead which should be abundant in the mainstem Columbia. Boaters usually do very well this time of year in the Gorge, but continued high water may delay the action up there. Metro area beaches, such as those on Sauvie Island, should provide a fair opportunity for bank anglers using spin-n-glos that are heavily scented. Chinook season will re-open Aug.1 but won't get good again in the metro area until late August.
Daily fish passage at Willamette Falls dropped off a little at mid-month. The shad run, disappointing for many, seems to be over. Trout fishing has been good on the Middle Fork Willamette.
McKenzie anglers are catching rainbows and native cutthroat. A few bright summer steelhead were taken over the past weekend. Flow increased with precipitation Tuesday.
Fish are being seen on the North Santiam below Fishermen's Bend but few are biting. A few summers have been landed upstream to Packsaddle.
A few steelhead have been caught at McIver, but overall it's been very slow on the Clackamas.
The Cedar Creek area on the Sandy is producing a few summer runs but it has been crowded.
Northwest: With momentum gaining for albacore tuna fishing, focus has quickly shifted from salmon to "long-fins" out of most northern ports. Action for coho is reported as fair northwest of the Tillamook Bay entrance but calm seas have had anglers more motivated to travel further west in pursuit of bigger quarry. Garibaldi, Pacific City and Depoe Bay remain the three most productive ports on the Oregon coast for coho salmon, although wild fish dominate the catches.
Tuna anglers were having success just outside of 20 miles to the west. However, warm water pockets change almost daily so anglers interested in learning how to successfully target this species should get to know how to read sea surface temperatures at terrafin.com. Trollers are doing best using bright colored clones but jigging should pick up later in the season.
Sturgeon fishing remains good on the lower Columbia with numerous oversized fish in the catch. Keepers remain focused on sand shrimp for bait with Taylor Sands and the water above Tongue Point producing good catches. The better bite has been on the incoming tide.
