Best bets for fishing
• Elk River anglers have been picking up some Chinook, and the rain this week will get even more fish moving upriver.
• Temperatures have been dropping and trout fishing should be picking up in places like Ben Irving Reservoir, Diamond Lake, Hemlock Lake, Lake of the Woods and Lemolo Reservoir.
• With plenty of rain in the forecast, north and mid-coast salmon anglers may have to wait until next week for river levels to come down to fishable levels. But when they do, there should be lots of newly arrived fish around.
• More than 17,000 coho salmon have been counted at Willamette Falls, and anglers should be looking for many of them in the lower Santiam and mainstem Yamhill.
• This is the time of year we start to get reports of excellent fishing in Cottonwood Meadows and the Chewaucan River.
• Anglers report very good trout fishing on the Wallowa River, with some landing fish up to 14 inches.
• Chinook and coho fishing continue to be very good on the Umatilla River.

That you for the update on the fishing report, Joj.
Thanks a lot for your great work Jim!
Anyone fishing the Wilson River?
It’s way too muddy right now. I’m going to wait until Thursday or so to see if it’s cleared up.
Sounds good by Thursday or Friday you should see pretty clear water. Let us know if the fish cooperate.
Let’s hope so, I sure would love to limit out!
Wilson River at the sled boat ramp. About 1/2 mile from Alice’s country kitchen on Hwy 6.
Very nice Rick. I will try and get out on the Wilson early next week.
Better get there early, there’s a lot of people with the same idea along the River.
Thanks Rick I am thinking of trying near Keenig creek campground.
