Wilson River, Oregon and Steelhead Trout Fishing

First time steelhead fishing on the Wilson River in Oregon, two weeks ago. This little beauty danced across the river on light tackle, and I landed her in about ten minutes. She was a native steelhead, and after the picture, I let her go. ~ Donna S.


The Oregon Department of Wildlife says, "The spring chinook and summer steelhead runs in these rivers are expected to be similar to last year, with a fair to good return of hatchery fish. The daily bag limit is two adipose fin-clipped adult chinook and/or steelhead and five fin-clipped jack chinook. "
