I went trout fishing on the South Santiam river today for some trout. I used worms and theres a bunch of tiny 6 inch rainbows there. Anyways I saw 3 huge fish I think one was a pikeminnow I tried to catch but wasn't biting. I casted onto some whote water and caught a nice ten inch hatchery trout and kept it and my dad caught a wild trout and we released it. I reccomend going in the morning when the sun isn't as strong and colder when trout bite more find fast moving water with deep holes and drift worms and u shoukd catch one in the right spot toodles!

Went trout fishing again today on the south santiam river using worms on a cloudy day. Me and my dad caught a total of 7 trout together cutbow rainbow and coastal and cutthroat trout we also caught 2 smallmouth and 1 largemouth. Including 3 pikeminnow which i crushed their head with rocks ofc. But overall water tempatures have been 50 degrees to 65 which is perfect for trout just avoid fishing when its super hot to not stress and kill the trout. Rain will be coming soon so water levels will be higher and colder reccomend fishing after the rain so overall good trout fishing recently toodles!
