Steelhead
Deer Island, Oregon, offers a unique steelhead fishing experience where the Columbia River's influence meets the Pacific's saltwater. This brackish environment means steelhead here are often keyed in on different forage than their purely freshwater counterparts. Focus your efforts on areas where the salinity changes, as steelhead will stage in these zones. The best time to target them is during their upstream migration, typically from late fall through early spring. When fishing near Deer Island, pay close attention to water temperature and current. Steelhead will seek out areas with optimal conditions, often holding in deeper pockets or along current seams. A practical tip is to access the Columbia River via the public boat launch at the Deer Island County Park; it provides easy access to prime fishing locations. Also, be prepared to adjust your presentation depth as the tide changes, as this directly impacts the feeding behavior of the steelhead.
