Rainbow Trout
If you're looking to hook some Rainbow Trout near Fairview, Oregon, the Sandy River and its tributaries offer some excellent opportunities. The Sandy is known for its beautiful scenery and relatively easy access, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced anglers. Spring and fall are prime times to target Rainbows here, as the water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. During these seasons, look for trout holding in deeper pools and runs. A local tip: try drifting nymphs or small spinners through these areas. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding wild vs. hatchery-raised trout, as some sections may have different rules. Marmot Road provides decent access to the river. Remember to check the water levels before you head out, as the Sandy can fluctuate rapidly after rainfall. The trout in this area are known for their fighting spirit, so be prepared for a good battle!
