Lower Clackamas River Fishing

What's the river looking like after this rain? Wondering if its worth the drive out there.
 
It's in it way to 16 feet here shortly. It's been around 12.5-13.5 the last month. I'd say under rivermill or dog creek would be the only things worth it.

For what it's worth, I'm not gonna bother trying today.

Good call! I went out for a little bit, lower, and mid way. I love a high and dirty playground but it rose about 4" or more in front of my eyes. I was thinking to myself how the turbidity looked good for how high it was. It was shocking to see how much mud and water came down like a wall of crappola! I'm out until it starts going down! Good luck
 
Gonna run eggs tomorrow. Headed out to explore and see if I can't relocate the couple dozen fish I spotted Friday.
 
The turbidity is up to ten, started out at two this morning. Bring some stinky ones bro! Good luck
 
The water level is coming down! Can I get a drum roll please?! It's gonna get good! I went out tonight for a bit. Found some tiny pocket water to throw at. No luck, tomorrow might be good.
 
Hi, my name is Dan I have been fishing the lower clack now since febuary 1st 12 hookups and five of those were ether wild fish or broke off just as i got my hands on it the rest I lost. This is my first keeper steelhead. I caught her on a brass spinner five feet off the bank down river from highrocks. 2013-04-08 19.10.58.jpg
 
I'm gonna hit the water tomarow. Hopefully I can touch somethin. Gotta fish, it's an addiction! Haha hit me up if you go out! Best of luck!
 
Ill probably head out tonight, sounds like the river is starting to look not so dirty. Plus have a new rod to try. Hoping to hook up. "Being at the river is like an awesome party, and hooking up makes it kick a$$."
 
Holy moly. Went out tonight. It's high. That's all I gotta say.

Ya gotta hang with us...I gotta bump pretty quick after showing up, but after two rod shakes was gone. Then picked up a nice looking nate with a pink worm...don't tell Adrian, I'll never hear the end of it ;) Dozer's got the pics.

Good job on the nate buddy. I hooked into my first summer the other day only to have it destroy me and break me off. Few days later, hit the willy... got a bump pretty quick after showing up and after walking up on 2 summers on the bank, 1 holdover 1 fresh. Just like yours, after to rod/head shakes and a nice tug, fish was gone! 0-2 now. Always seem to get stomped on my first few hook ups.

End Hi-jack. I dont know about the clack, but know Chez knows it to a good extent you might be able to squeeze something out of him.
 
Y'all never hit me up anymore! Been fishin by myself.
 
Shoot me a #...I'm thinking Sunday morning.

Today's fish:

Fishin with my gf, brother, and nephew Sunday man! Might hit it Saturday. I know exactly where y'all go. Kenny and I have been there a few times.
 
I'm telling Adrian about ur nasty worm problem. Lol. That is a good looking pic of that brute. Nice choice to move down btw! Tony a phone works both ways. Besides I honestly thought u were trout fishing with the lady for some reason. But I see that it appears to be sunday ur doing that. I think the "Nancy Hole" will be holding a good number of mixxed wild an clipped fish. They have been there the last 3 trips. U should take ur lady up there and have her run a bobber jig. Or are u afraid she will out fish u there like she does at meldrum. Haha jk kinda

Btw I only had one dry sock by the time I got home cuz I had to help u with that Nate. I just couldn't help myself. Had to find u fighting a fish. Lol.
 
Looks like I'm only trout fishin one day. Brother and nephew cancelled. So I'll be at the ole mighty nancy hole either Saturday or Sunday.
 
today's catch. 31in
 
Nice. I haven't been able to fish this month, gotta move and it's killing me. My coworker invited me on his boat but couldn't go and he got a springer right above meldrum bar so they might be trickling in the clackamas.
