If we don't get some more snow to run off here in Oregon, the summer water levels will be low, low, low. Trout fishing should still be good this year though. Very low levels could have an effect on summer steelhead fishing. The first Spring Chinook was caught in the Willamette 2 weeks ago near Oregon City. There should be some early Chinook along with winter steelhead available in the Willamette off the mouth of the Clackamas River when the water drops and clears. I'll be ready. I'm making a new batch of Salmon killing spinners this week. Terry Turner

I'm making a new batch of Salmon killing spinners this week. Talking about low water, how about the Steelhead runs. So far, the Alsea River I like to hit has had 400 fish to the hatchery, when even an average year should have had 2,000+ by this time. So far, I've yet to get a winter Steelhead on a fly, but I have managed a fair number of cutts. $BITCH_ON Clearly the low water conditions have hurt the winter Steelhead runs to date. People are also speculating that the drift-net crapola is also partly to blame. One local fishing newspaper mentioned that of the Steelhead being caught, many show signs of net marks. I hope the movement to have drift net fishing banned keeps growing. $BITCH_OFF Thomas Gilg tomg@cv.hp.com
