Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 2,950 cfs at the Waterloo gauge as of Oct. 30. While flow volume is normal at this time, the river is running unusually turbid due to high sediment load caused by the drawdown of Green Peter reservoir. It's likely this will persist for the next several weeks until the drawdown is complete and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers begins storing water again. Fishing success will be extremely low during this time. Better bets are the North Santiam or the Willamette River. ‌

Anglers are reminded that only fin-clipped trout may be kept.
