Willamette Zone

Weekend's Best Bets

Willamette Zone - 

• Coho salmon are moving into the lower parts of the North Santiam. Spinners such as Blue Fox are usually effective but bobbers and eggs will work as well. Best sections currently are from Green's Bridge down to Jefferson, as well as further down into the mainstem of the Santiam River. 
• Walleye fishing has been good along stretches of the Willamette River from Peoria downstream to Independence. A jet boat is the best option for getting at fish on some stretches, but fishing in 12-18 feet of water, especially trolling a worm spinner downstream a little faster than the currant has been netting some good-sized walleye.
