Santiam River ( North Fork) - Stayton, OR

No recent fishing reports. River levels best for fishing are at or below 3,000 cfs, and the river is currently running at around 1,300 cfs at the gauge in Mehama.

The spring Chinook are entering the upper Willamette basin in the hundreds every day, with many of these fish destined for the Santiam.  So far over 12,600 adult chinook have navigated above Willamette Falls as of June 4th.

On the other hand, it looks like it will be another disappointing summer steelhead run this year with only 470 fish having been counted so far. 

Fishing for hatchery steelhead is open year-round. Any unclipped (wild) steelhead or trout that are caught must be released unharmed.
