Rainbow Trout
While Maywood Park itself doesn't have direct access to trout streams, the nearby Sandy River and its tributaries offer excellent rainbow trout fishing. A short drive east will put you in prime trout territory. The Sandy River is known for its runs of both hatchery and wild rainbow trout. The best time to target rainbows here is typically during the spring and fall months, coinciding with the salmon and steelhead runs, as the trout will often feed on eggs and emerging insects. Access points are plentiful along Highway 26, with numerous parks and boat launches providing access to the river. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers is popular, but spinning gear with small spinners and spoons can also be effective. Be sure to check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations for specific restrictions on bait, tackle, and catch limits for the Sandy River. The rainbows in the Sandy River are known for their fighting ability, making for a memorable fishing experience. Remember to practice catch and release to help preserve this valuable resource.
